Quoted from Wotto:Welcome to Australia - THE LUCKY COUNTRY !
Petrol is between $6.50 to $8.00 a gallon
A case of rock stock brand beer is $40 - a case of Corona can be $60
A coffee is $3.00 uwards and there are NO free refills.
Clothes are twice what you pay in the US.
Food is ridicoulous.
Pinball is expensive
EVERYTHING is expensive.
Yep - we are SO lucky
Isn't our minimum wage and average yearly income higher than the U.S may be wrong but I thought it was? Plus we get health care and other benefits that aren't free in the states. Corona's were $40 the other night I got a slab at Dan Murphy's too but alcohol prices are due to all the taxes to prevent people drinking which is retarded. I figured most stuff evens out in day to day living costs but imported electronics is where we really get screwed in made up pricing.
Pin prices are crazy though, near me it's $2 a game and their maintained poorly. Luckily I can get the replay a few times on TF to make it worth playing.
