Sorry if I sound like a typical Murican Yank here. I am deciding to visit Australia sometime in January or February of next year, but I am planning to be in Sydney and maybe the Gold Coast. I am surprised at the amount of nice hotels in the CBD costing less than 150 USD to 225 AUD a night. I cannot find this in Chicago or Toronto unless I go in the middle of winter and have to endure -15ยฐC weather.

People travel domestically to the Gold Coast in winter, same as people traditionally go to Florida in the US, to escape the cold weather. No one goes to Queensland in Summer when it's bloody hot ๐Ÿ˜‚

Is there any word that aussies will not add -ies to?

True, but I feel like November is a lot cooler than Jan-Feb.
