  Very generous.

  Qantas club lounge is good but the easy check in is the best.

  Plan it with spontanaeity

  Did I spell that right..........

  Don't fly completely by the seat of your pants, but don't run it like a military exercise either. The best things happen by chance...

  Pack Light

  If any column has "2 x " then you're packing too much....

  Buy shirts as you need them, as well as socks, etc.

  Which are the backpacker-friendly countries?

  Yep - Australia is up there. It's because so many Australians take off.

  Canada is great but most countries have something to offer backpackers.

  Trekking Out From Sydney

  If you've got a couple of weeks and Sydney is boring you (impossible) then start trekking. Maybe even drive west and don't stop.

  There are other ideas too. Go to Melbourne. Go to Brisbane. Go North West to Darwin...

  Getting Cultural or Even Cultured

  Seeing Aboriginal events especially dance is really worth it. If you go to Circular Quay in Sydney you can sometimes see buskers and then go to the Opera House and see some conductors. I'd love to combine them (RDRR)
