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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Australia — what to pack

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.
