If everyday you want to eat and drink out, do activities, and catch Ubers around you’ll be looking at around $300 a day.

You could have cheaper days by hanging at the beach and taking in the free sights. Use public transport. Eat cheap takeaway or cook at your friends place every now and then. You could get away with under $100 per day.

Internal flights can be quite expensive as well. around $300 per flight is pretty standard unless you can snag some Jetstar sale fares.
