Penny and I are contemplating a trip down under and to most young people this wouldn’t sound like a big deal, but we are both retired (I military and she teaching). We are thinking about the mid January time frame and as we are new, would welcome any advice from those people who do this often.
if you are planning a trip to Australia maybe it would be helpful for you to visit our Asutralian website http://www3.yha.com.au/ where you can find inspire me section with latest news, travel deals and other essential information.
Just do it! We are in our mid sixties and in late 2010 we stayed in hostels all around Australia and loved it. We were not alone either – there are plenty of others in our age group doing it. Some hostels had great en suite facilities, others just private doubles and some more basic than others but all were welcoming and great fun.We are coming again next year we enjoyed it so much.

The hostels are really fantastic and superb, please let me know the rates monthly for a single room small.

Hi,
the room prices vary with the hostel and sometimes even with the dates but these are roughly around £15 a night.
Kind regards,
