questions about living cheaply in Australia 2-Jun-2010 At 10:37:14 AM lacto

seems reasonable estimates for best and worst senarios but the car could exceed these amounts as you have to turn it over within 30 days if buying and presumably at the older car level which carries inherent risks of breakdowns and repairs as well as the difference buying and selling .
Rent a wreck might be cheaper ! .
Also it costs between 15 to 25 to get to and from airports to city centres. Trains buses and discount airfares are generally cheaper than petrol for only one person in the car over most distances Food and living can be adjusted to meet budgets but transport can be the huge variable and to me is by far the major outlay for your trip so the quality of how you move around will dctate the costs . There are tollways in the major capitals . (melbourne,sydney and brisbane ) which are expensive for casual use and can be hard to avoid.
