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

So I’m watching YouTubers that are travelling in northern Australia. At one particular site 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 people don’t do tourism in Australia.

back then it was 1000 for 4 for 1 week, now it’s 7000 for 2

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

Hmm I disagree. There’s many restaurants in tourist areas that have excellent food. Western food is of course more expensive than local food, but still a hell of a lot cheaper than AU.
