backpackers is not as bad as our friend made it seem "typical school hostel". My understanding is that there are various backpackers in different cities. well i arrived Australia 2weeks ago and stayed at the backpackers in Newcastle which is about 2.5hrs frm sydney. its more like 5k+ per nite but it was very okay. you have access to household facilities and a clean bathroom/toilet although shared. its nice as you get to meet and interact with all sorts of people. its cheaper compared to hotels which vary from 70/80 or over 100 AUD. There are lots of accomodation available but i must warn you: Its an expensive country

Backpacker accomodation is like a typical school hostel. You will share facilities with other strangers mostly travelers. However if you are buoyant you could chose to stay alone, you just need to pay for the number of beds available in the room.
You could check online for the cost implication but budget 4000naira per night. I will suggest you plan ahead to stay for a week. Within the week of your stay at backpackers,you should be able to find an accomodation.
We have lot of Nigerians in Melbourne, maybe they could also help if you know any. I am in Gold Coast.
How much should you have? Accomodation and feeding fee at least for the first one month.

greetings to all. please are there any nigerians in newcastle. Can anyone recommend a nice cheap place to stay till i find permanent accommodation. I arrive in 1 week. any info would be really appreciated.

Hi guys, I must commend you all for the wonderful job you are doing. please help me with a few ideas so i dont make a Mistake. I got admission to study an MBA in Newcastle Business school and have gone through all the required process (Obtained a visa, Ecoe & others) My major question is if i could get jobs that could aid in paying my fees although i have 1ST & 2ND semester fees but Im concerned abt living expense and remaining 2 semester fees. Also, if there are any Nigerians i could meet in Newcastle that would aid my transition and enable me settle easily. please any ideas & advises would be helpful as i leave Nigeria on the 14th
