For many people who like the adventure of travel but also want to stretch their money backpacking hostels has been the answer. The backpacks provide bare necessities and are easy to carry, thus eliminating bulky suitcases. Placed on the back they light weight and leave the arms free for other things. These explorers find that adventure is at their fingertips and they can see the sights of the world at their leisure. One of the very exciting stops is at a Brisbane Backpackers Hostel.
Brisbane, Australia is a very stimulating place to visit. It is the capital of Queensland and sits on the Brisbane River. This river was named in honor of Sir Thomas Brisbane who was governor of N. S. Wales from 1821 to 1825. There are walking and biking paths all along the river, which makes it excellent for backpackers.
