Why is Sydney now so expensive?

I’ve looked at every weekend from October 30

onwards. Prices in normal hotels are 400$+ a night. Even average Hotels like Kirketon are pushing $400 a night. Is there no way people can afford to stay in Sydney without blowing 1000$ a weekend on accommodation. It’s crazy. I’d rather travel overseas for that price.

Heron Island Resort

Looking at going to Heron Island over New Years or early January. Looking for information on the food, accomodation, wifi availability in common areas, and how to best be contactable in an emergency. Has anyone had a SIM card work there?

Mission Beach trip in November

I’ll be traveling to Australia for the first time and found a really good deal on a hotel in Mission Beach. Arriving in Cairns.
Questions: transportation from airport recommendations? Things to do? Should I stay in mission beach the entire week or should I plan to spend some time in Cairns?

I want to make the most of my trip without traveling too far out too frequently. I also don’t want to stay in mission beach for a week if that sounds boring to others who have been.

Hiring/ renting a car in Melbourne

Hi all,

I am looking at renting a car or camper van in Melbourne to explore a few nature places. Can anyone recommend the best sites or facebook groups where I could rent someones vehicle for the day or two?

I have already looked on a couple websites but due to being under 25 they are charging an arm and a leg, and also only offer huge cars…

I have heard a lot of aussies happily rent out there car so would love to know some good facebook pages/ websites ect
