How Much Does It Cost To Travel Australia For 2 months?
A little about us and the travel to Australia:
To plan the trip we needed to understand what the desired style is, so that you can understand if it is relevant to your style then I will detail a bit about us and our trip style.
we are 28-27 year olds took three months off (two months in Australia) from life and went on a couple trip.
Trip style – only a trip, not a work visa. A month and a half van on the East Coast, from Cranes to Sydney (with van) + Melbourne week + Sydney week (without van) Total Traveling two months in Australia.
not party lovers, not picky about food (we ate well I will detail below). Not picky In places to stay (sometimes in quality places and sometimes less).
We drove without regard to fuel and it is important for us to exhaust the places we were, so if we were close to something then we probably drove another 100 km off the track to see it.
first The start of the trip – Travel Australia
We were 6 days in Melbourne without a car and stayed with friends, (kings !!).
were 7 days in Sydney and stayed with a family (amazing !!).
were 48 nights with an attached van from Cranes to Sydney. (Below is a link you will see which vehicle we took).
All amounts are in US dollars (not in Australian dollars) do not know why, sorry if it is inconvenient, to convert the amount to Australian dollars at the rate we were here multiply the dollar by 1.6 and it will be the Australian dollar (sorry).
All amounts are per couple.
The word “investment” is recorded because every “expense” is actually an “investment” in our trip.
There may be slight deviations of amounts resulting from the loss of receipts prior to their registration or the loss of a wallet with receipts of a few days.
The final amount we spent is correct.
This is the full amount we spent in the full two months in Australia.

It was a pretty detailed breakdown of our expenses over a two month period, there are some deviations here and there because we purchased things that stayed with us for a longer period and still went into the calculation.
we had to buy expensive plane tickets from today to tomorrow because of the corona and that. And it cost us everything including everything (flights, van, food, fuel, accommodation, gifts, shopping and a package ) $ 9781.
That it came out to 5433$ per person for two months Australia.
