    Thinking of backpacking in Australia and

    Thinking of backpacking in Australia, New Zealand and then to Thailand in October for 2 to 4 months. Maybe longer.

    Gonna start off in the land of OZ. Anyone done this recently? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    I can always come back or get another one. Life is too short. Time for an adventure.

    Shutey that is a major square move

    If you told me your going to Melbourne and staying in a major hotel and gambling at TAB's and then going to Thailand to bang hookers and do drugs then I pat you on the back

    there's plenty of that in Costa Rica.

    Time for a adventure. Some good exercise with no schedule and new experiences.

    Reading people's experiences online is great. Some that stand out are ...

    Get up and GO! Sounds simple, doesn’t it? You can’t get anywhere if you don’t move.
    Despite the obvious necessity, so many people struggle with this first step.
    I’ve heard every excuse. “I would love to do what you do,” they tell me, “but I don’t have the money.” Trust me folks, I’m not rich. I just budget.
    “I will one day. I’m not ready.” Guess what? You will never be 100% ready. If you plan on waiting until the time is “right”, you are going to be waiting a long, long time. So stop offering up excuses like bad break-up lines, man up, and just do it!
    Quit your job, buy a one-way ticket, and go alone if no one else will come. You’ll make friends everywhere you go, trust me — in fact, it is way easier to meet people when you are alone, because others see you as more approachable.
    However, wherever, and with whomever you choose to go — the most important thing is that you stop delaying and just GO!

    My advice is to start with a smaller island first. You can't backpack in Australia very fast. It's huge.

    might be an idea Pavy. Flights to New Zealand from Australia are about $110 bucks. I plan to fly to the Cook Islands also and you can only get there from New Zealand.

    very beautiful yes. Its like March in Vancouver or Seattle weather wise but that is great for hiking. Going up to the Bay of Islands for some wicked hikes and snorkeling in a day or two. Might stick around in the city to watch football tomorrow.

    My whole life for the next 3 or so months is in a backpack which is strange to say the least. Freedom seems to be a good choice of words. cheers! No complaints at all so far.

    I have a job waiting should I come back. Three in fact. I am a workaholic and that usually doesn't end up well health wise. I have to do this. I am still young and in good health. Ya probably should have done this years ago but I cant change the past.

    I have what appears to be a permanent smile on my face that last few days. I love it. Everyday will be a new experience and adventure.

    I will see if I can get you a line on whether I will get hooked into a cult or not JJ. I am guessing it will be something like .... NO -55,000 ... YES +50,000.

    cheers
