Has anyone been to Australia recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.
