It all depends in what region of brisbane you will live.
BurBrisbane especialy Golden Sands arequite expensive.
A studio can cost AUD 28000 /year. That is about $650 monthly.
In Kedron (an emirate very close to Brisbane 20 km) everything is much cheaper
800 AUD per month for a studio but traffic from Kedron to Brisbane is very intensive.
Prices for food:
(I will write the cheap one only)
Bread: 1.50 - 5 AUD
Tomatoes: 1.50 - 5 AUD per kg depends on season.
Potatoes: 2-4 AUD per kg
Dry Beans and Peas: 5 - 8 AUD per kg
Complex Lunch in an average restaurant 15 - 25 AUD.
Indian restaurants are much cheaper but the food is too spicy for an european guy like me. 5-15 AUD :oops:
Transport:
Taxi 1.5 AUD per km + 3 AUD
Bus tickets range form 1 - 5 AUD depends of distance.
petrol 1 AUD per galon.
thank u Lion for the informations.

Hi everyone in Great Brisbane!
My name is Ricardo.
And, yes...I am from Brasil.
We love, live and wake up every morning thinking of football.
I am a freelance journalist.
And in Brisbane, there will be a fantastic and important event on football: THE FIFA UNDER 20 WORLD CUP.
And I plan to be there.
But, as things do not move always as we plan, I had a set back.
I am extremely happy to be able to go so far away from my country.
I manage to get the accreditation to work, and even got some money to buy the ticket for the airplane.
A family of Brasilians in Brisbane was expecting me. But they were allocated to Qatar, and left me suddenly with no where to go.
So, I am asking if anyone in Brisbane is able to help me out with accomodation( of course that having a brasilian footballl journalist is not a bad idea!).
I need really some ideas on how to stay, because if not I will not be able to come to Brisbane, as my budget is brasilian, and the prices here are extremely low, compared to anywhere else in the world( take out Bolivia, India and Afeghanistan...).
So, people of Brisbane, any student wanting to share a place, any journalists wanting to meet nice people from Brasil, any one for adventures ?
My mother will be happy to talk about how good, great, nice, polite, intelligent, sweet, clean, smart, honest, cute, interesting, bright, correct and organized I am.
She will tell you even that I do not snore when I sleep.
So, jokes aside, thanks to all of you, and do forgive me, but I am so excited to be the only Brasilian to be at this championship, so, only solving that accomodation problem, I might be able to be there.
All the best and if you want to write me, I am at: vampeta3@hotmail.com
I know that Brisbane people love Brasilian football. This is your chance to ahvea good connection ( I am a friend to Ronaldo and Rivaldo, and also Roberto Carlos!) !
Bye,
Ricardo
