This was my first backpacking trip and it was really quite an experience! Here's a summary of the hits and misses:
Hits: Visit Melbourne city and its attractions (eg Queen Victoria Market), Make new international friends, Experience backpacking lifestyle, Know more about Australia culture, See kite surfing at St Kilda, Visit The Dandenongs and sit in Puffy Billy, Visit Phillip Island, See the Penguin Parade, Feed kangaroos, See koala bears sleeping (they sleep 20hrs a day!), Cycle round the island, Watch seals colony, Stay at Torquay (Gateway to Great Ocean Road), Visit Great Ocean Road (eg Twelve Apostles), Try surfing, Visit Sydney and its attractions (eg Museum of Sydney, Paddy's Market), Watch Circus at Sydney Opera House, Walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge, See a Dugong! at Sydney Aquarium, Visit Blue Mountains (eg The Three Sisters), Try abseiling and canyoning, Try caving at Jenolan Caves, Do some bushwalking etc
Misses: Catch a match of Australian Open in Melbourne (damn!), Cuddle a Koala, Watch dolphins swimming in the sea, Sky diving, White water rafting, Hot air ballooning, Visit a Buddhist Temple, Visit a nude beach!, Know more about Aboriginal culture in Australia, Do a Farm Stay etc
It can be quite lonely travelling alone and I was fortunate to make new international friends PLUS bump into a Singapore friend and her colleague who are working there!
