I g for £97, think i us compare type company, cant remember which!

Sounds similar to what im doing

You heading up the east coast at all? im travelling with my cousin planning a sydney to cairns trip (been done to death but sound amazing).. We're also planning on popping to NZ so would'nt mind any info off you with regards to cost, flights etc! Depends what jobs your looking for i guess?

We go middle of October!

They seem really good, plus weve got everything else throught them! thanks il check them out, see whats what. Im really independant so aren't too scared of justa rriving and going with it, but for the money it may be worth having stuff set up in place for the first few days until we get oreintated i guess! I imagine its going to be easy to meet like minded people when staying in hostels and stuff?

Yeah they seem good.. has anyone booked using STA before? They have "starter" packs where they pick you up from airport, give you some accomodation, BBQ's etc, i gues thats a good way to meet people and have a sense of security for the first few days?

Sounds similar to me also, im 22 and going in second week of Oct, where are you flying from?

Thats what i was thinking, just thinking if there is some delay or anything, could end up missing a day that wev'e payed for, but i guess its not the end of the world, we arrive at 10pm so its gunner be late before we get out and into the city so may be worth booking somewhere.. Thanks

New to the forum, wouldnt mind making a few mates before heading out there

Heading to Aus with my cousin on the 14th Oct this year from Manchester, using STA travel agents and going straight to Sydney, can't wait to go (obviously). Got plans to go up east coast, pop over to NZ for a little holiday and then go to Thailand in April next year, havent got much of a plan but know what we wanna do overall.. gunner pretty much wing it when we get there.

Main question: Would it be wise to book some accomodation prior to getting in Sydney or just find somewhere upon arival?

If anyones got a similar plan, wants to offer any advice or just have general travelling, feel free to get in touch pop on my profile for a little more info!
