Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on travel from Aus to NZ...and then back again.
1. What is the best option for transport? plane, boat?
2. where is the cheapest/closest area to leave from? (melbourne, sydney, brisbane?)

Thanks!

BBH or YHA

Which hotel card is more valuable and useful to have, a BBH or YHA? Which one will provide me with more opportunities to save money? Any advantages or disadvantages to either card? Also, is the ISIC card really worth purchasing? I went to NZ a few years ago and found that the ISIC card didn't provide me enough discounts to pay for itself. I will be going to NZ for 2 months this time around.

Does anyone know the names of any tour companies that run tours that depart from Sydney? Day tours or long tours. Not interested in big tourist bus tours, just smaller ones targeted at backpackers and independent travellers... any suggestions?
