In Brisbane we choosed Brisbane City YHA as our home for two nights.

We arrived in Sydney just in time for the big event – New Year. Our flight from Hawaii was very bumpy (actually heard people on board screaming for the first time ever). But the first impression of Australia made us forget our flight very quickly. We were a bit worried about the border control (after … More Our days in Sydney
Sydney Harbour YHA was our first choice in Sydney, but unfortunately it was full. Still we think, you should know about it, if you go to Sydney as it has a great location and an even better rooftop view.
