Hey oldbies

I'm heading out to the land down under in a few weeks and I couldn't remember if anyone I knew from here was from there. I will be landing in Sydney then heading to Blacksmiths near Newcastle, NSW for a week ... back to Sydney for a few weeks then up to Moolooba, Queensland and frolicking around the Golden Coast.

I'm looking for suggestions on places to go, good hostels, cheap room rentals, couch surfing sites, and temp job placements that don't include trekking into BFN for fruit picking.
