Bundaberg and its hostels aren’t as bad as I had imagined, but they wouldn’t get anything higher than a one and half star accommodation rating.
I had stopped at the Bundaberg information desk to ask for directions to Cellblock Backpackers – the most popular backpacker work hostel in Bundaberg. I also asked the woman at the desk to mark a couple of other backpacker hostels I should check out on the map if I was looking for work. She marked where Bus Stop Hostel and Dingo Blue Backpackers were. I had never heard of Dingo Blue Backpackers before now.

I’m in Bundaberg right now because I wanted to see the different hostels that offer farm work and interview a few people about their experiences working in Australia. I was hungry and a little tired after all that so I stopped at the nearest caravan park which happens to have ensuites for each caravan lot. It’s more expensive than most caravan parks at $28 / night, but when the woman at reception showed me an ensuite, the first thought that entered my mind was “OFFICE! My little table and chair will fit in the bathroom and it has a plug and window screens so I’ll have power AND be free from bugs. SCORE!” *giggles* I’m very happy with myself right now.
