Get much better value for your money and go to NZ and Pacific Islands. Australia is a fairly generic tourist destination...albeit at a premium price.

Now we're thinking of just doing a quick tour of Sydney and Brisbane. New Zealand seems to be more affordable since our US dollar buys more there compared to the nearly 1:1 exchange rate in Australia. We'll probably end up spending 4-5 months in Auckland rather than in Sydney or Brisbane as originally planned. We’ve been considering going to Australia for a long trip since two years ago.

Travelling in Australia is ridiculously expensive. I recently travel there by myself for 5 night, and it cost me more than $1K for just 2/3 stars hotels there. This price is equal or exceeding the price of hotel in Manhattan. Had it been in Las Vegas, I would be staying luxuriously in 5 stars resort with this price!!! Totally agreed!

I am sick to death of walking around the city wearing a nice pair of casual loafers only to be stared down by hordes of people wearing 'thongs,' I could think of nothing worse. But then again there are the V-Neck T-Shirts brandishing slogans such as "BOW WOW WOW WENDY." I'm only 16 but I try to look the best I can even if it involves 'over' dressing every now and then. I can't begin to imagine as to what effect it would have on you oldies... This is very true.

The real beauty of it is that the ABC is leading the pack in terms of delivering the full series via podcast, which means that I can watch it (and The Chaser) overseas without subscribing to a collection of garbage TV.

I'm betting too that the uptake for this kind of video is slow, governed by the lack of broadband in many places, this too would limit your commitment to quality. Some day all media will be a mix and when the delivery technology improves so will production. I've been watching a lot of hi def broadband content via Joost but it's a big suck on your download limits, so until/if that becomes cheaper ( as it should be} there will be another practical limitation to the take up rate.
