RE: Traveling through Australia: Part 1
I'd love to hear a bit about how expensive it is to do a trip to australia like this. Did you do work & travel or just travel?

@saper,
Yes, we worked and traveled.
Australia is an expensive country, but if you're from Europe, UK or US, the Australian Dollar is significantly weaker than USD,EUR or GBP - so you gain with that.
In general, decent food (not the cheapest stuff at the store) is more expensive but there are plenty of deals going on in the store which drives the prices down.
Unless you're from the middle east, gas prices will be cheaper than what you're used to.
The most expensive things are beer and paying for entertainment.
In general, Australia is one of the more expensive countries in the world, so it's not cheap. But so worth it!
