What I like of the Australian Hostels
Travelling in Australia for me means staying in the australian hostels.
And yes I stay in hostels all 
the times. The Australian hostels are my favorite budget accommodation option , they are great value and there are heaps of them in OZ to choose from. What I like most of the australian hostels is:
The central location - they are mostly located in the city centre and on strategic places, beachfront or in natural parks.
The great facilities - most of them offer a full range of facilities from the basic of kitchen/laundry to internet cafès and travel forum and services, so that connection is guaranteed.
The accommodation options - in most hostels you can book a twin or a double, so that you do not have to share dorms with strangers.
The great value - for the money you pay you get good accommodation and usually excellent quality of service.

The Australian Outback spectacular!
Australia's outback and its stunning landmarks
make of the 5. continent such a desired travel destination to suit all travel tastes and lifestyles.
What most attracts me of the Australian Outback is:
- its bright colours, its strong light, its thin and pure air, its rough contour, its empty space , its spirit, its seclusion. I love painting and for me the red centre is a wonderful source of inspiration!
- its contrasts, the bright red soil and the deep blue of the sky, the endless horizont, the long walks over sandy and rocky dunes, the immense and the greatness of solitude.
- its australian culture and its people. Being a multicultural person, I love Australia for its cultural background, the colourful mixed origin of its population, its aboriginal culture and its profound freedom values.
During my first trips in 2004 I had planned a week in the Red Centre. But as huge as this area is, I had to make a choice. Since I was travelling by bus I decided to make a stop at Cober Pedy, and from there I headed north to Alice Springs, to then turn south east to reach the Yulara Resort and visit Uluru and Kata Tjuta.

10 golden rules for travelling Australia on your own
You know by now how much I advocate independent
travel!
I love travelling Australia on my own and am a firm believer that there is no better way to explore a country than looking after the whole trip-planning by yourself.
Reading, researching, viewing, comparing, booking are all important steps that allow you to relish in the fact that you are making your dream to travel Australia become reality and you are first and foremost the director of your trip ! :-)
Delegating all the above steps to a travel agent or whoever is going to dim your enthusiasm and makes you into a bystander rather then the protagonist of your trip.
