I played the 2/5/10 when it was on and the 2/3 when not. Well, I thought the 2/5/10 was not that bad, it depends on what you are used to, your skill level etc. obv. It was heavily infested by the same local regs every time, but always had a couple of good spots and some of the regs were probably not as good as they think they are, as usual. Small sample size though. Yes, the 2/3 is like you would expect for these stakes.
Compared to the US it is probably not a juicy game, but I thought it was okish. I mean I view that 2/5/10 mostly as a 2/5 US game, taking into account the value of the AU$ and the max buyin of 1k. If you'd also take into account the local costs of living that game is probably smaller than a 2/5 game in, say, Vegas.
The rake is not great, but 10 Aussie is just over 7 US and there are no tips. And the time charge is stupid as it drives people away from the game every hour but as long as you don't nit it up too much it's only a minor part of your rake. It is debatable but I think that rake is actually on the lower side for a place that is not in North America. They charge for a lot of drinks though, IIRC 1.5 for a coffee and 10 for a small heineken lol.
Have fun.
