Hostelling Information

Hostelling in Australia

Dive in coral-rich waters; surf or land yacht along unspoilt beaches; watch kangaroos in the wild; spend a night at the opera; go bush walking. From aboriginal art to colonial architecture, from the vastness of the Outback to the city splendours of Sydney, this enormous, sparsely populated country is rich in activities and culture. Highlights of Western Australia include the vineyards of Margaret River and the coast of Monkey Mia with its bottlenose dolphins; the Northern Territory encompasses Alice Springs and the Kakadu National Park; Queensland offers the Great Barrier Reef and magnificent rainforests; South Australia includes the wilderness of Flinders Ranges and the grape-growing Barossa Valley; New South Wales boasts the hiking trails of the Blue Mountains and skiing in the Snowy Mountains; the Great Ocean Road in Victoria takes in sweeping shores and rugged coastlines; while the island of Tasmania is rich in mountain ranges, cascading rivers and historic settlements. With more than 130 hostels, the choice of location - and adventure - is huge.
