Melbourne Hostels - Reviews and Rates

ALIVE!! Tom and Jess came back yesterday!! After I waited patiently for nearly 6 weeks for them without being bashed or broken into, I tried my best to start but showed my age and failed miserably. Luckily a nice yellow truck put some cables on me and I fired into life like the true rockstar I am. Even the RACV man was shocked at my performance....

Had to drive back to Melbourne to fly out in the morning to Alice Springs (outback). While on the drive we stopped for 9 holes of golf at a very unusual course. Had about 500 kangaroos on it. We hit into them, walked passed them, they walked and hopped past us. ***********centrate so only 9 holes. Driving we saw very cute koalas in the trees. Al...

We arrived at Melbourne Airport to be greeted by our great friends Michael and Libby, two Australians back from their home in London for Christmas. Within minutes of getting into their car they told us they were putting on a BBQ for dinner back at theirs - we were definitely in Australia!! The next day we explored Melbourne - a large, lively, co...

Life here is prettay, prettay, prettay...pretty good. I finally feel like a local. No more running around taking pictures of EVEYTHING. I definately think I will always be a Japanese tourist at heart. I am still obsessed with my camera. Now I'm in a routine. It is nice. I go to work everyday at 5 p.m. and I stay there from anywhere between 12-3 ...

Friday Ok. I am such a big baby! I have already cried today twice for no apparent reason. It must be that time of month creeping up on me. I don't know whats wrong with me. They are obviously extremely happy tears but they come out of nowhere. Today I left the nunery hostel because we found a flat. I was walking through the park by myself with m...

Well, its been over a year since out last entry. Basically we decided the stay in Oz for a while. Got sponsored to stay here and work and settled down in Melbourne. Melbourne is a great place, we live live near the sea but work in the city and you can't beat the trams! If you're planning to come to Australia I would recommend this city - so much...

Hey all...well its my second last day in Melbourne and it looks like the drought has broken...hooray!!! So if the weather is going to be miserable anyhow, I figure I may as well pack up my scarf, beanie, gloves and ear muffs and head over to beautiful Canadia!! yeah!!! But not after a night of partying and boogying! Yeah!!!

Melbourne, Australia March 1 Melbourne is an interesting city to explore. The city is abounding in public transportation, with trains and trams carrying all the businesspeople throughout the city and into the suburbs to their homes. However, for the tourist, it is easier to walk around the busy streets to the many different points of interest. O...

I'm up very sharp today to shower, shave before heading into town by tram for this registration with the temping agency. At the office it turns out to be a group registration and is pretty much the same deal as the last agency I registered with. They've no work at present but hope to have some stuff over the next couple of days so fingers crosse...

Fortunately our time in the Red Centre hadn't permanently adjusted my body clock and I was able to lie in until 10am today. As much as I'd enjoyed sleeping under the stars in swags, I was glad to be back in a comfortable bed and a heated room. The hostel that we're staying in for our week in Melbourne is a beautiful 19th century building called ...
