Just returned from 10 days in Australia. Overall a great trip.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $30/night. Clean and walking distance to everything.
The scene is solid. Prices were slightly higher than last time compared to my last visit.
Girls were friendly and attractive. Had 8 encounters total.
Food was cheap and delicious. Ate for under $10/day.
Will definitely return. Happy to answer questions.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

First time there was great thanks to forum advice. Second time I knew the ropes and it was much better. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.

This matches my experience. Australia is a must-visit.

Did you feel safe using taxis?

Not sure I agree about that area. Found a different neighborhood better value.
