Back from Australia. 5-day trip. Here's my breakdown:
Accommodation: Serviced apartment near the action. $40/night.
Scene: Not as busy as hoped but still good.
Prices: slightly higher than last time.
Highlights: The GFE here is next level.
Overall: 8.5/10.
Ask me anything.

Good info. I'd add that midweek is the best time to go.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Not sure I agree about that area. Found the quieter streets better value.

First time there was overwhelming but exciting. Second time I knew the ropes and it was much better. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.
