So there is travel agent shpeel budget and then there is real budget. With little money left, but determined to make the most of our time in Australia, I have headed to Queensland with friends for some very real budget backpacking.
We have limited ourselves to $20 per day for food and $15 for drink. Hardly your average east coast raving! But necessary if we are to manage diving the barrier reef, sail around the Whitsundays and drive a 4wd along 75mile beach on Fraser island. haha, spoiled bitches!
So our first stop is Cairns. For $17 each we get a bed, hot showers, access to a pool, free breakfast, and free dinner when you buy a $5 drink. Amazing. Maybe it would be better to stay here than return to Sydney...?
