THIS WEEK AT THE JOLLY SWAGMAN BACKPACKERS SYDNEY HOSTEL:

We were fortunate enough this week to finally have the common area's toilets opened! The upgraded and brand spanking new facilities look amazing and are here for your enjoyment- a gentle reminder to our gentlemen guests if they sprinkle when they tinkle to please be neat and wipe the seat- remember they are unisex!

THIS WEEK IN SYDNEY:

For a great, seedy but fun night out that is low cost and thoroughly local, why not hit up the Wentworth park Greyhound races (the dogs- or ‘dishlickers')!

It includes TAB greyhound racing with totalizator and bookmaker betting located at Wentworth Park Road, Glebe. Every Friday and Saturday night has 10 races, its fun for all with full bar and catering facilities. Plenty of parking in adjacent Council car park (fee applies) if you have the camper vans, the carpark in itself is quite a spectacle with all the trainers getting their dogs psyched up!

SYDNEY TIP OF THE WEEK:

Have you purchased a VIP card yet? Available at reception for only $37, this card is a must for any serious backpacker. It includes hostel discounts at thousands of premises across Australia, Fiji and NZ as well as a points reward scheme, a concession pass for coaches and non-local trains as well as a FREE 500KM GREYHOUND BUS PASS!

Get yours today!

 

SYDNEY WEATHER:

Cloudy today (Saturday) but still topping a balmy 18 degrees celcius. Rain is forecasted for Sunday, clearing on Tuesday for a pretty much cloudy week with tops of 17 degrees celcius.

 

DID YOU KNOW?:

For those who cannot quite afford to do the Sydney Harbour Bridge "Bridge Climb", you can also do the pylon climb for a fraction of the price, which affords equally spectacular views. If you climb it think of the French man who once in the 1970's illegally set up a tightrope across the two structures and walked across without safety!
