Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Australian Dollar, AUD
Use ATMs for the best rates; avoid currency exchange at Brisbane Airport and tourist bureaux where rates are poor.

Tipping is not expected. Round up the fare for taxis or leave a few dollars for exceptional service at restaurants.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Standard takeaway flat white or long black from a local cafe: around AUD 4.50–5.00.
A simple banh mi or sushi roll from a takeaway shop: about AUD 9–12.
A main course at a suburban pub or casual Asian restaurant: roughly AUD 18–25.
Food courts and weekend markets (e.g. nearby farmers' markets) offer affordable eats; the 4051 area itself is mostly residential so you'll head to neighbouring suburbs for more choice.
Aldi is cheapest; Coles and Woolworths are the standard supermarkets. IGA is pricier but convenient.
Target and Kmart at nearby shopping centres for basics; not a high-street fashion hub within 4051 itself.
Buy a go card (smartcard) for buses and trains: a single trip is about AUD 3.00–5.00 depending on distance; daily cap applies. From the airport, take the Airtrain (around AUD 20 one-way) or a cheaper shared shuttle.
Use a go card rather than paper tickets for public transport. Buy groceries at Aldi rather than convenience stores. Eat lunch specials rather than dinner menus at pubs and cafes.
