Returned from 10 days in Australia. Solid experience.
Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $57/night. Clean and central.
Scene:
Busy and well-organized. Prices were slightly higher than expected.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 3 encounters total.
Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Eating out was very affordable.
Safety:
Stick to main areas at night and you are fine.
Overall: 9/10. Already planning next trip.
Happy to answer any questions.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Did you use local sites or find girls at clubs?

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
