I lived in Oz for almost 4 years, and was shocked at how much it cost to fly around the place. I had to fly from the east coast of Australia to the UAE on several occasions, and my ticket (full-fare economy, because I needed the flexibility) for the 4-hour flight from Sydney to Perth always cost me more--quite a bit more--than the 10-hour flight from Perth to Dubai. But, hey, the Aussies voted for "change" in November, and "change" is what they're getting.
