is this the death of manufactue in australia , page-5

Tourism is dead.

Australia has become on of the most expensive places in the world to travel.

People travel and tell their friends.

$25-$35 for a pub meal and $10 for a beer, the exchange rate makes it even worse.

Equivalent in the UK is about half the price in A$

That says something.

I recently went to Townsville for a wedding.

Flight-700
Accom-350 (2 nites)
Food, drinks, taxis etc 300 including $20 dollar fish and chips.

Could have spent a week in O/S for less

Until the dollar drops by 30%, tourism is toast.
