Returned from 10 days in Australia. Exceeded expectations.

Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $75/night. Walking distance to everything.

Scene:
Busy and well-organized. Prices were slightly higher than expected.

Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 6 encounters total.

Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Found great local restaurants.

Safety:
No issues at all.

Overall: 7.5/10. Already planning next trip.

Happy to answer any questions.

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

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

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

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.
