Hi all,

Just wana get advices from you guys regarding budget. I will be going to Melbourne for 5 days trip & I will be staying at my friend's home. If I bring only AUD300, is it sufficient for sight-seeing & eating for 5 days?
*
Breakfast = AUD 10 (Toast + Coffeee)
Lunch = Depends - allocate AUD 15
Dinner = Depends - allocate AUD 20

AUD 45* 5= AUD 225


Then if you need the tram pass - AUD10
Mobile = AUD30 (if you have friend visited there, try to borrow the sim card. AUD 30 for 5 days quite expensive)

AUD10+AUD30= AUD40


Left= AUD35 - depends on you want to visit museum or zoo. Entrance fees range from AUD 10-40

I think if you are budget traveler, AUD300-AUD400 are good enough since you have free accommodation there.

Car Park in the city is very expensive. If you use car to travel the Great Ocean Road and Grampians, then should be fine.

For Car Insurance, may be you can limit the number of driver, this can help you save some $ for additional driver charge.
