Brisbane Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Today we got to experience something pretty unusual around Brissy. A duststorm. The weather was fine this morning, but around 11 it started to get really windy, and once we got outside, oh gosh! the sky was brown of sand and you coldn't see any buildings etc. It really reminded me of the scenery right after a bomb or something, was amazing. ...

Wieder einmal ging ein partyreicher Trip zu Ende und wir machten uns recht direkt auf den Weg nach Sueden um mit Brisbane endlich eine australische Grosstadt zu sehen und dort nebenbei die Gelegenheit zu nutzen die kaputte Wasserpumpe in unserem Camper zu reparieren.

Der Weg nach Brisbane fuehrte uns ueber die herrliche Sunshine Coast wo ...

So maybe i was a bit ******* Brisbane. After nearly a month here I've had a good look and theres a lot to like. I've included pictures that illustrate how impressive it looks at night but during the day is rather unsightly. look out for the light grey building that has a charcoal coloured splodge lumped on top of it. It also has a number of moto...

Thursday, 29th November After arriving in the familiar surroundings of Brisbane, we settled into Palace Backbackers where we decided to splash out $17 on a double room, sharing a bed for only a staggering 4 hours sleep before getting up for the Oz bus at 6.00am! As neither of us are what you would call morning people, we seemed to have been put ...

Also, vor etwa 2 Wochen wurde mir meine Entscheidung, wie lang ich den Job hier noch machen will oder werde, buchstaeblich abgenommen. Mein Manager hat gekuendigt, alle anderen, mit denen ich hier gearbeitet hab und mit denen ich Spass hatte, sind schon weg. Also werde auch ich Ende des Monats hier aufhoeren, so traurig es ist. Am 6.12. verlasse...

Ok kids so I finally moved into my apartment last night.. let's just say I feel like I've just won the lottery! After spending nearly 5 whole months in hostels and then 5 weeks practically sharing a bed with Stef in Charlotte's lounge... this place feels like heaven. I finally have my own room and my own space. I can shut the door and close myse...

Monday, January 08, 2007 Life sometimes can be nothing more than a series of small victories. Or defeats. Infinitesimal battles won or lost, which when saddled within the larger picture can seem almost pointless. But often it's the tiniest ones that make the greatest difference. Throughout this trip I've sacrificed much for the greater gain. Non...

Hey Everyone! I've been such a slacker with updating this site...and with emailing in general. I come home in 2 weeks! So crazy! I have so much to cram in here before I leave! I just wanted to post some pics so hope this goes well. I arrived in Melbourne and visited Avril about 4 hours from there. (after seeing Melbourne and getting sushi...and ...

Just after I wrote my last travelpod entry I got a phone call off the agency asking me to work at the Gabba for the AFL game. I had a bit of a row with the woman on the phone as if I'd have stuck to my original plan I'd have got 6 hours work at Sofitel where as at the Gabba I'd only get 3 hours, I'd also have to put up with ****** up Aussies all...

On Canada day, we arrived at the home of an old friend from my (Joanne's) youth. Aimee was my best buddy throughout elementary school, but moved away when I was 13. We kept in touch through letters and audio tapes early on, which turned to Christmas cards as we got older, and then we kind of lost touch. When we decided we'd be coming to Australi...
