How much is enough to support oneself on a tourist visa in Australia?

Question

What exactly is the amount for "sufficient funds"?

Answer 1

It depends on how long you're staying there for, if you're staying with anyone etc.

For a week usually you will need at least $500 AUD not including accomodation and airplane fees (eg minus the cost of your ticket to get there). That of course will get you lots of nice touristy items (koala bears and kangaroo stuffed toys, chocolates, sightseeing etc). If you want you can stay in youth hostels for about $50 per night to hotels that go up to about $250. O
