G’day! Australia has a rich tradition of backpacking and travelling, which really lets you get to see this fascinating country. If you like hot weather, Australia is the place for you. It’s one of the sunniest places on the planet, so you’re bound to come back with a tan. The wildlife is iconic, with ‘roos and crocodiles to delight and/or terrify you. The flights are a real killer. It can be very expensive to get over to Oz, and surprisingly expensive to stay. Look for youth hostels, and ask a local for cheaper places to eat and drink.
Try Melbourne. It’s a vibrant and arty city with a fast-paced party atmosphere. The graffiti alleys are world famous, and well worth taking a stroll through.
