Thoughts on Australia

 This is a travel blog written by Gary Arndt. He is a seasoned traveller, travelling around the world visiting many different places and experiencing many different cultures. According to Tourism Australia, their target market is seasoned travellers and so Gary fits well with the marketing that Tourism Australia does.

During his travels in Australia, Gary has written a blog about it with mostly positive feedback. He believes that Australia is one of the best places in the world to go if you’re backpacking or doing budget tourism due to the fact Australia has very well established backpacking and bus routes for tourists with cheap hotels on the way. Although it is good for touring, he brings up the point that things in Australia can be very expensive. He uses the example “The cost of a bottle of Diet Coke at a 7-11 was AUD$3.50” which compared to many other places he has gone, is very expensive. He also takes into account the week American dollar at the time he was in Australia.

He does not touch on what the people are like in Australia but a comment by Nisha Roy says that Australian people are very friendly. This helps to back up Tourism Australia's belief that Australian people are very friendly and laid back.
