Is parking expensive in Australia? Do you have any good tips ?

Different regions will mark how many hours you can park on the street, such as 2P, indicating that you can park here, but only for a maximum of 2 hours each time.
According to my driving experience in Australia, parking fees in big cities like Sydney are relatively expensive. The most expensive city center areas generally charge 7 Australian dollars per hour. The least expensive is 1.5 Australian dollars per hour, and that's on holidays and weekends. Parking fees are mainly based on street meters, and drivers need to purchase tickets and keep track of their own parking time.
For paid parking lots such as supermarkets and shopping malls, you usually need to take a ticket when entering and insert the ticket when exiting. You can simply use a credit card to make the payment without entering the credit card password. If there are any issues, there are usually staff nearby ready to help at any time.
