I only went as far south as Canberra and, more inland, the town of Wagga Wagga. Australia is a very big country, and I didn’t get to Melbourne in the south, or the Great Barrier Reef north of Sydney. In fact, I got homesick after a week and cut the trip short at that point!
Canberra is a planned city of about 500,000 people (Sydney is 5,000,000!), built expressly to be the capital of the country. It’s very nice and is less expensive than Sydney.
