The deposit was only $150 Austrailian

which is just one good burger and beer in big city there, so not even worth attention

Not sure what sort of burgers and beer you buy, but $150 generally goes just a _little_ bit further than that in my experience...

Five burgers ($15 each) and seven beers ($10 each)

standard Big Night Out, really

good barometer for "interested" but not a serious committal
