The Honest Truth about BACKPACKING AUSTRALIA (So Far)

Episode 16 of our Australia adventure.
After 10 months of working and living in Australia, we thought we would take the time to outline the good and the ugly of backpacking in Australia.
I, Rosie, walk through Coombabah Lake Conservation Park and chat about how the working holiday visa has been, what things we would change and, going forward in the land down under.

Randomly stumbled across your video, I think too many people gloss over the day to day issues and it's great your video is addressing it head on. Recognizing your expectations were a bit out of line will help in the future but is hard to do, good for you! If it's any consolation, we rented a van and had nothing but issues.. leaked during the rain, had to spend a day at a dealership to get it repaired after fighting with the company to recognize it. Then another day at a mechanic and a dealership when the engine light came on. Awning never worked properly and the cushions in the back were brutal. It was hard enough getting it sorted dealing with the rental company, never mind having to deal with it ourselves. I hope things smooth out as you keep going.

Thank you. We thought the same thing and wanted to address it. That sounds horrendous, especially when you are spending so much money to avoid issues such as this.

In the UK it is raining now - said to my husband this weather will only get worse now until maybe April - 8 months away. Might have a few sunny autumnal days - but generally cold, wet, grey, rainy, windy. Its a bit of a joke for us to moan about the weather in the UK - we make light of it - but that is to hide the misery it brings us much of the time.

[@cinrtravels2807]

Totally get that. That is why we are in Australia - running for the weather of the UK!

To be honest as an Aussie I am a bit disappointed with how many people are in this country backpacking they seem to be taking over all of our once favourite places especially those on the east coast.. We bought a caravan that has all the comforts that you say you want and it cost us $100K not to mention another $80K for a 4x4 to tow it with. We spend 6 months a year on the road exploring this country and we have had to work all of our lives to put us in a position to be able to do that. I get annoyed when young foreigners land here and complain about how difficult things are for them because social media told them it would all be different. Keep in mind if we went to Europe (which we have done a couple of times) it would cost us a fortune and we wouldnt be given a chance to offset any of that cost by working.

Understandable but the video is merely setting expectations, providing experience and talking about the realities for a working holiday backpacker.
