Gateway to the South Island

2013-06-19T14:00:00Z

There are a couple of different ways to get to the South Island from Wellington. We're the gateway to the South Island and most tourists coming here for a few days also want to find out about what transport they should use to get to the other island. Obviously which transport they use depends on several factors, like do they have a car? A plane isn't going to be your best option in this situation. ;-)

International partying

2013-06-19T14:00:00Z

Everyone knows that backpackers love to party! No matter which city or country you go to you will find travelers rocking the clubs every night of the week, and that's what makes travelling so much fun. Every place and country is so different and each have their own unique vibe about them, but... what makes going out when travelling different to partying back home?

WIRES - Wildlife Rescue

2013-06-18T14:00:00Z

WIRES, (Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Services) is an Australian non profit organisation for animal welfare. We have a Northern Rivers Branch in Byron Bay of which I'm a member. What prompted me to join WIRES was when my car hit a kangaroo on a dark quiet road around 3 years ago. I was driving at 60 kilometers per hour on a lonely dark road at 11.30 at night. A kangaroo jumped right out in front of me and the front of my car hit the big animal. I stopped the car, put on my hazard lights and wound down my window.

Sydneys unique wildlife

2013-06-17T14:00:00Z

When thinking of Australian wildlife, the first three animals that come to mind are the Koalas, Kangaroos and Crocodiles.

When I first arrived in Sydney I had NO IDEA that Sydney is also home to some other, very interesting, wildlife. I was mesmerised by a lot of these creatures as I had no idea what they were... For those of you that freak out like me here is a short explanation of some of Sydney's interesting but kinda creepy wildlife.

Cairns Botanical Gardens

2013-06-17T14:00:00Z

We know that there is nothing worse than arriving in a new place with no money, all the exciting stuff you could do will have to wait until you have saved up money or sweet talked your parents into giving you emergency funds, but Cairns Botanical Gardens is free and is one of many free things to do in Cairns. Cairns Botanical Gardens is located just north of the City Centre, only a 10 minute walk from Nomads Cairns and is definitely worth checking out.

Looking for a trip around the Whitsunday Islands? Then they don't get much more inclusive than Summertime! I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to have a sneak peak of this 3 day / 2 night sailing adventure as a day trip so the crew could show myself and other Airlie Beach travel agents what we'd been missing out on all this time!

Nomads Airlie Beach - new Shed Bar deck

2013-06-13T01:46:31Z

The Shed Bar at Nomads Airlie Beach backpackers hostel has been popular with backpackers since we first opened, but in the past our bar area lacked space for enough people to sit back, relax and enjoy a drink or two in the sun. So we've built an extension to the deck area. This new extension to The Shed bar has been built around our massive tree and features box seating around it.
