"Airfares to Australia – Pricey!"
Airfares to Australia are generally expensive. This is because flights to Sydney, Melbourne or other major cities are long. If you fly from USA or Canada to the east coast of Australia it would take you a bit less than 24 hours and more if you go to the west coast. Coming from South America can take somewhere from 14 hours (Sydney) to 22 hours or more (Perth).
Even a flight from Johannesburg, in South Africa is about 11 hours long to Perth and 14 if it goes to Sydney. The country has it all – it is remote, takes a long time to get there from most places in the world and sets you back a good amount of your hard earned money.
