Australia is ideally suited to the budget concious
backpacker. There is a large network of good low-cost
hostels offering cheap accommodation.
Hostels in Australia are also popular places for meeting
fellow travellers from around the world and sharing stories
of other cool places to visit. Although there is great competition
in the backpacking industry standards of hostels can vary
and it is well worth asking for recommendations of places
to stay at your next destination.
Hostels often provide a choice of dormitories (usually about
4 – 6 people sharing a room) and a family or double
room. In most hostels there will be a bar or social area
for meeting fellow travellers, TV rooms, internet access
and even possibly a pool. |
