THIS WEEK AT THE JOLLY SWAGMAN BACKPACKERS SYDNEY HOSTEL:

HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE! To all those who had a "Jolly" one, we hope you enjoyed it! The Swagman is being decked out completely with a newly refurbished reception area, as well as some beautified common toilets with plants also expected on the way! Excuse the state of the common areas, but the renovations are nearly over! Stay tuned for more details, we have every confidence the end result will more than make up for the dusty foyer for the week!

SYDNEY WEATHER:

For the love of God (or just to avoid disappointment) if you are planning to do any beach visiting or surfing - GO NOW! Whilst the air might be getting a wee bit chilly, the water temperature will still be warm till early May. Looking forward to sunshine after a few cloudy days early in the week. Top temperature 32 degrees celcius, with an autumnal chill settling in through by the end of the week.

DID YOU KNOW?:

The kangaroo and emu are featured on the Australian Coat of Arms as a symbolism for prosperity as neither of them can walk backwards. Ironically, they can both be eaten and their meets feature in the delicacy known as "coat of arms sausages".
