I took a random sample of Gold Coast (Australian) accommodation, e.g. 51 places available here on Saturday 16th April (starting from the top of the list), and the exact same random sample from Bali (not including Bali's "Mystery" hotels, there's no way I'm buying sight unseen) - and guess what? The mean average price for the Gold Coast was $AU232, while it was $AU303 for Bali. Go figure. Here's the sample preserved for posterity (I took screen grabs), though you could try the same experiment yourselves (and don't forget to convert US dollars to Aussie dollars):
