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
- Transport tips
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
