I just came back from a year in Norway, basically:
-fresh fruit, veg. here is half the norwegian price
-meat is almost a quarter of the norwegian price here (except salmon)
-public transport here is much worse, but cheaper
-beer/wine here is about half the norwegian price, spirits around a third
-free camping is possible here but not nearly as easy as in Norway, you can usually find a place but you have to be a bit more 'out of the way'. Finding a spot near crags shouldn't be a problem.
-there's no winter in australia
hope that helps |
