Australia trip report — 12 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Taxi from airport was easy. Hotel was basic but good location.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Got some good intel from a local.
Days 3-14: Found my favorite spots. Found my rhythm. The downtown area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $30-60 range. Pay asking price — it's fair.
Tips: Be respectful and tip well.
Return? Definitely, now in my regular rotation.

Word of caution — don't carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Interesting but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Great report, thanks for sharing. Had a similar experience there last month.
