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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there 6 months ago and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

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