going down
Down under that is!
Australia is not only a great place to live but also a great place to visit. I have lived in 3 different capital cities in Australia and visited all capital cities except Darwin. Even though I live here, I still love to travel to various parts of the country, sometimes just to catch up with family and friends or to just see a new place.
When I travel I am pretty lucky in that I have a lot of family and friends who provide accomodation, but when I am touring around or passing thur a place where I don’t have family I need to make sure I have my accomodation sorted out.
Sydney is the “Big Apple” it is the City that never shuts down - there is something to see and do 24/7/365. I am pretty lucky in that I have some great friends who always as when are you coming over? So for me my accomodation is always easy! Now, if it wasn’t I would want to get somewhere close to the city and also be on the lookout for reasonably cheap! There are literally hundreds of Sydney Hotels to choose from.
Next, Melbourne. While it is the 2nd largest city, it is not quite as busy as Sydney - it does close down for a couple of hours each day! Last time I went to Melbourne it was a business trip and I didn’t have to worry about where I stayed or how much it cost as I wasn’t paying! When I do go to Melbourne, typically, I try and find a Melbourne Hotel just out of the city as it is an easy place to get around.
The last Capital city on the East Coast of Australia is Brisbane. Brisbane in itself is not my favourite city - but it is within a short distance of some really great tourist destinations and attractions. With the Gold Coast about an hour south of the city, with the various theme parks and the Sunshine Coast only an hour to the North Brisbane is a convenient and central place to stay. In the peak seasons, a stay in a Brisbane hotel is much cheaper than staying on either the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast which are both easily accessable!
Now, just because All I have mentioned is the 3 main East Coast cities don’t think for a minute that this is All Australia has to offer! Of everywhere I have visited, Australia has one of the most diverse range of climates and scenery of any country in the whole World - so Go down under and when you are here don’t forget to say Gidday!
