I find it amazing the amount of people who have never traveled more that a few hundred ks from home instead of flying off giving your money to some other country there is a lot of very nice Australians living in remote towns waiting for you to come spend some money in there towns.
I was just thinking about that today. I was lucky enough to have lunch near a beach today and saw two young females cleaning out a Suzuki carry van, obviously backpackers, had all their stuff out on the grass cleaning the van out, when i asked if they were spring cleaning they told me they where cleaning the Suzuki to sell as they were flying home in two weeks time.
During the last 4 months spent here in Oz they started in Sydney, travelled south to Melbourne, across to Adelaide up to Alice Springs across to FNQ and returning to Sydney.
Guess it shows that you don't need everything with all the bells and whistles to get out a see our great land.
