		If hiring a car, it's best to do circular trips that take several days than day trips, because with day trips at least 50% of your time will be spent just getting in and out of Sydney each day.
		If you stay in BandBs and guesthouses you'll have a more interesting experience than motels as the hosts can help you plan your australia holiday, and are good sources of usefel information on sights to see and things to do, but you'll need to book in advance (especially at weekends and in summer).
