I have real urge to talk to somebody else that has been backpacking/travelled Oz at some point. Is there anybody on here that has done it?

I really want to talk about Oz tonight though, I'm really missing it. You wait until I get back there for good, you'll never have to hear from me again about the place.

I'm going to Sydney next year for a mates special occasion. I'm just dreading the flight because I hate long journeys. I may have to take something to knock me out the whole 20+ hours.

You should so take advantage that you have relatives there! Honestly, you would love it.

LOL, I'm not going to lie, the flight is a killer, but absolutely worth it. Sydney is a cool city, I preferred Melbourne, but both are still interesting cities. How long you heading over for?

i'd be the same, but I would be scared that I was that knocked out, that if the plane crashed, I would have no idea and wake up in the sea like, wat?

Yeah, I would extend it to. 10 days is good for places nearer, but for a journey of that length I'd want more, lol. If you do extend it you should deffo take a roadtrip to Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road.

Most my extended family (I have millions of second cousins I've never met) live in Australia. I have thought about going there one day.

My cousin lives there. He's gonna get qualified for Australian plumbing and make a living out there. He's already been to all the major places in Australia though. I think.

I have been to melbourne, sydney and perth and all over New Zealand which is pretty much the same.
I love australia but I didn't go back packing I've been with the fam loads of times.

For my gap year though I want to go work in queenstown, I was there in april and we met really nice 18-20 year olds who work on this ziptrek tour thing and just all live in like a hostel together and just pretty much work by doing zip wires all day then party and get smashed all night on their earnings.
