Our minimum wage is NOT $28 AUD, it&#x27;s ~17. Meal at a tasty restaurant for 2 is ~35-40 if you don&#x27;t go super fancy. Coke + chips maybe 5-6, 4 in a supermarket. Free wifi is almost EVERYWHERE (cafes&#x2F;mcdonalds&#x2F;businesses).
But yeah, tech scene is awful. Just awful.<p>I&#x27;m sorry you had such an expensive experience, Sydney is considerably the more expensive of the capitals.
