any help or ideas peeps.

The Boss Lady and I did a seven week tour in Oz a few years back ... up and down the Pacific Highway on a hired HD bag of bits! :eek 

We rode it from the Blue Mountains south of Sydney up to The Rain Forests of Queensland and back via Alice and the outback  :eek

Just rolled into town and bagged a room for all our overnighters in YHA Hostels ... I guess $10 a night on average ... not 5. 4 or even 3 star ... but its only a shower, some grub and a bed you need  8)

Join the YHA in the UK and then wave your card at the bloke in the x-army shorts ... Simples  :b

Tip:    Don't hire a bike until you've seen it ..... Sport !!  :rolleyes

YHA is worth joining, the digs I've stayed in have been tidy and cheap, and the membership is worth free wifi and a few dollars off the room.
I'm planning on staying there next month when I go a wee tour about, there are cheaper hostels, but worth paying the extra 10 sheckles so that you get a decent nights kip.
Did a wee three day stint in Wellington last month, was slap bang in the middle of town so plenty of pubs/restaurants and was a short walk from the tourist bits.

You got dates sorted out?

Give us a shout when you're in Auckland and we can grab a beer or three.
:D
