Sorry if I sound like a typical Murican Yank here. I am deciding to visit Australia sometime in January or February of next year, but I am planning to be in Sydney and maybe the Gold Coast. I am surprised at the amount of nice hotels in the CBD costing less than 150 USD to 225 AUD a night. I cannot find this in Chicago or Toronto unless I go in the middle of winter and have to endure -15°C weather.
Do not go to Tasmania then, A$150 gets you a shit box room.
As an Australian I’d recommend not going to Australia, i have no idea why anyone visits.
I’m with you. Keep the yanks out lest they bring their shitty government ideas with them
