Like New Zealand, Australia is very well organized to handle packpackers. In Melbourne, I stayed in one of the several hostels of the St Kilda district not far from the namesake amusement park shown here. Over seven weeks, the cost of accommodations averaged 10.40US$, slightly more than the N.Z. average of 10.10US$. From Melbourne went to Canberra to satisfy my curiosity. It did not take me long to realize that I was allergic to artificial showplace capitals just as I had been allergic to Brasilia in Brasil. I scooted out of there and went to Sydney full of real people, noises and odours.
