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 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at online?

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
