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 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

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

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The quality is what keeps me coming back.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in last month and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $100/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?
