Hi :) I am going to be a 22 year old solo female backpacker and I'm hoping for some reviews on the Ultimateoz package for 28 days as I am looking at booking it for when I go to Australia end of May 2017. I know its long way off but I like to be organised and plan ahead. Although I know that most of the things they provide for your first few days you can do yourself I am mainly wanting to use them for the social side of things. Any advise on them would be great and also anybody who is travelling from the UK to Australia around that time feel free to get in touch :)

Thanks
Danielle :)

Hi :) to be honest other than actually getting there I am unsure what I want to do :) I know I want to see as much of the country as possible. I will be wanting to do the 3 months regional work so I can qualify for the 2nd year visa. How about you?

I am the same, I had a couple friends that went from Sydney to Cairns and they had he best trip ever so that may be a starting point but I'm not sure. I will do the regional work also. Do you have a rough idea of how much you will need to take to start off your travels ?

personaly? as an older been there done that and father of 3 grown daughters. my advice is if u not one who is concerned about hostel living ( amazingly enough some nervous nellies are) simply join YHA hostel assoc. book you time there say 3 nights then add extra if your content otherwise simply rebook into another hostel but my exp has revealed for average person the YHA are the best. myself in past have shown up without prebooking at hostel only to have to sweet talk operstor in letting me sleep in the tv room for reduced price natch. i kinda prefer solo travel has worked for me since 1956. even managed to fly unaccompanied underage, from london UK to Toronto canada when u arrive .at hostels more than enough folks there you can meet and greet then plan next moves.

Thank you so much for your advice! I had looked at YHA before and I think it will definitely be something I look into before I head over. :)
