    So I’m watching YouTubers that are travelling in northern Australia. At one particular site (Tom Price Tourist Park) they paid 80 dollars at a campsite for the privilege of pitching a tent.

    In many SE Asia countries you could get a very nice 4 star hotel room for that price, usually with a nice breakfast included.

    And people wonder why folks don’t do tourism in Australia.

      And nice food too.

      Some of the best aren’t in touristy areas, but in somewhat remote villages.

      years ago i went with the fam and some friends up to the old station at mt mulligan, maybe cost 1000 for the week including all traditional aussie cooking meals

      now it’s gone luxury units and would cost at least 10,000
