I have some advice for anyone coming down. Hitchhiking is normal here, not against the law. There is a shit ton of freedom here! I never want to see amurika again... I have been in Australia for almost 4 months. It is CRAZY expensive here... Backpackers have been given court appearance for dumpster diving. Does anyone have any advice about cutting costs here??? I think there are more backpackers than Aussies in this country. Minimum wages are $22, $23 an hour, but it is reflected in high prices for everything. The "greenback" is worth about 1 and 1/3 at any given time. Any one in OZ at the moment??????
