Australia, All or Multiple City Thread

I have to say, mianly because i want to be the first to post here. In my general experience I have never had a place turn me a way cus i am on a bike in Aus. But three places (all YHAs) have gone that extra mile.
1) Melbourne Oasis North Melbourne.. They have free parking for bikes but i showed up late and all my gear was straped to it so they helped me bring it is and lock it to the BBQ!

2) Broken Hill YHA - The Tourist Lodge.. Only a short ride from the mad max set.. and even shorter to the Red desert.. nice place.. and the manager let me park the bike in the kitchen! (along with two other bikes)

3) The Jail
25 Margaret Street, Mount Gam, South Australia, 5290, (not yha) an old Gaol on the costal route from Melbourne to Adelaide great looking place and the bike got his own cell!


.. I have normal hotels take my soaked gear to the laundry for me free,

I had one owner chew my ear off about how he used to ride and then let me stay for free..


But all in all Aus is a biker friendly place (other people have said they have not been so lucky but i have never had any issues.)

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
