Is Brisbane this bad? Have heard of syd, melb and cbr being like this but somehow assumed things were netter up north.

Yeah it is, most rooms are 200+ in the inner suburbs, 3 bedrooms are easily 6-800/wk. I was somewhat depressed by the number of people bombarding me with offers when we had a spare room to fill.
