Travel with YHA

Youth Hostels

Start by going to a Youth Hostel. You will find the nearest in the phone book. You can always start with the Perth YHA...its very good.

Ask about becoming a member, as then you get cheaper rates.
You can still stay at the YHA's without becoming a member, but it is a good investment if you plan to travel anywhere in Australia or around the world.

Here you get accommodation you can afford, the rooms are kept to a clean and good standard, it is reasonably safe as the other people who stay here are similar to yourself, and if you do take valuables, you can hire a safety box for a few dollars.

Here is the internet link in Australia.
