Yeah thats what I was thinking, Im going to be in sydney for at least a week anyway and my hostel is £130 for 5 nights already. Think it would work out cheaper and easier just to pay the £469 and do the activities aswell.

http://ozintro.com/ Looks like it would be really good and its got brilliant reviews on the Facebook site and also indipendant review sites.

I'm thinking of doing the Oz Intro as I dont think I'm going to have much money when I first get there (£2000 roughly) and was just wondering if anyone here has tried it? Is it worth it?

Thanks alot for that info, sounds like its quite a good place to be. I was abit worried that it was slightly out of the way, but, as long as there are bars, i'm sure it will be fine Just can't wait to get out there now.

I know what your saying and like I say, after your initial post I went back and checked everything out and agree'd with you. Again, thanks for the advice. Sorry for being a grouchy git

What's your problem? Why the hostility? Where I stay is my choice, It is ME who will be staying there. There is no need for the condecention in your posts. Also, from your previous post about Maze, I did go back and look into it further and I cancelled my booking at Maze last week and booked Bounce, so, thank you for your earlier advice.

Hey man, I'm sure i'll be heading up that way so if its around that time ill give you a shout. I'm sure it'll go by in no time, i've been on the countdown since last October its has gone scarily quick lol.

I will be working eventually, I've not really got a plan in place at the moment. I'm getting quite nervous now but also mega excited haha. only 36 days to go!

I booked Maze as my friend stayed their towards the end of last year and said it was fine and also it was cheap. End of the day, there are always more bad reviews than good. Im not bothered where I stay so long as there is a roof over my head to protect me from the elements. I'm only their for 5 nights.

Oh cool, you are probs the first person I have spoken to who is getting into Sydney around the same time as me haha. I honestly can't wait now. Think i'm more excited because i am doing it on my own and will need to meet others. I'm sure everything will be ok and it will be a great experience :biggrin:

Good Luck with your trip. At least you don't have the worries of finding a hostel to stay in :biggrin:

Thanks for all of the sound advice, guys. A little nervous at the minute as its coming very fast but im more nervous in a good way Jason, yeah man. Im definately going to try some diving and without a doubt partying haha.

I'm not too sure, i'm hoping to stay there until December-ish. I've got a few friends that are already out there and are going to sort me out with a job but i'm wanting to travel around abit first. Thanks for the info about Cairns, all ive heard about it is its a good place to party.

Hey I've finally booked my flight from Manchester to Sydney on 1st March 2013. Ive booked into the Maze Backpackers Hostel in Sydney and was just wondering what people opinions of the area and Hostel are? Im taking about £2000 with me and have only planned the first week then Im not sure what I am doing from there. Im thinking I may want to make my way up to Cairns and my friend has told me about a bus that you can hop on and off that goes up the coast. Anyone else flying in around that time or going to be in the area? Nick
