Hey Guys,
If your thinking of coming down under anytime soon, and planning on staying for around 3 weeks or more, a Kiwi friend of mine... we dont all hate each other... got one of these discount cards from a place called Aussie Travel Saver. She has since gone back to New Zealand, but she left the card with me and if your interested in saving some coin on accommodation, car hire, meals, alchohol and all the touristy things then you should def check it out.. They aparantly only offer it to International tourists which is why I have to use hers, but they have ok discounts on heaps of different things.
Enjoy your trip and if you want any advice or info on places to stay or where to go out, especially in Melbourne because thats where I live, then feel free to ask.
