I think maybe RM16K? There was 5 of us and each contributed some amount. Food was rather expensive. Budget about AUS15-20 per person per meal. You can save some $$ by having your own breakfast and occasional dinner. If you are going for Interval International Apartment style accommodation, there should be cooking and washing facilities. Check with the hotel by giving them a call or email. Perth/Australia supermarket has interesting food and many not available in Malaysia. Give them a try! Also budget for souvenirs and purchases for wines and other stuff. No harm bringing extra cash. Just change back to RM if you have leftovers though you may suffer exchange loss. Otherwise you can contemplate using credit card. Car rental, I think we paid about RM1K+ for it using credit card. Fuel price is more expensive than Malaysia and each pump station has different price. So keep a watch out for cheaper petrol station and do take a mental note for comparison. Hope the above helps.
