Australian rates can be more, but it reminds me of Las Vegas. If you're just visiting and want to charge the higher rates please research before you go and learn where to advertise.
I charged the same as when I am here. I had 90% requests for an hour. The others were 30 mins or two hours.
The main difference is screening, but I always politely ask for the donation upfront, so I don't really come across that potential problem.
http://www.privategirls.com.au is the higher end
Punter planet - I got one call off of.
I got every other call off of Craigslist.
I didn't put much effort in to advertising as I was going more for vacation and just wanted to post on cl when I wanted to work. Each time I posted on cl I met at least one person. Most of the guys brought unique to Australia gifts.. Chocolates, ice creams.. Comes in handy since food is so darn expensive over there.
Also, I found a short stay nice hotel in kings cross (Sydney) for $100/115au a night. So I bought groceries and ate at home.
on the Gold Coast I chose to stay on the NSW side to not have to worry about the legalities of BBBJ. In Brisbane I only did outcalls. I didn't work in Melbs since you have to have a workers number and I didn't want to draw any attention.. Though I did title my ads, "do you like American accents??" Lol
It was my second trip and both times were equally amazing! You can rent a live in rv and drive up to the isolated beaches. I'm doing that next time.
