Backpackers Travel

Just slightly more than a year ago, backpackers would have been a common sight all over Bangkok, especially at Khao San Road.
Now with borders still mostly closed, it is not known whether these backpackers will ever reappear again in the near future.
Some noise was intentionally added to give the shot a film roll style look.
In the late 80s, all NZs 'named trains' were being refurbished and rebranded based on the success of the Tranz Alpine.
Obviously not all the carriages could be done at once, so for a while the Southerner, which was pretty low on the priority list, ran around with a mix of cars from all over the place.
In this example there is a car-van (possibly from the Picton train), an original Southerner car and a refurbished example (but with small windows rather than the panoramic glass installed on most other cars - perhaps this was one of the a backpackers cars?).
The traditional 56-foot guards van has been replaced with a red FM van for luggage at the back. The FMs were fairly new guard's vans used on freight trains until the move to two-man train crews ended that a year or so before.
1988? DF 6064 DJ 3107 + 3286 Ravensbourne, Dunedin, SIMT-NZ. An old negative. Other than the changed rolling stock, this view from the old overbridge is possible today - the foreground sidings have gone, replaced by a walk/cycleway, and the boats for the fertilizer works still come and go!
The legendary Noah's Backpackers Hotel.
Bondi Beach, Sydney.
Corner of Francis Street & Campbell Parade, Bondi.
Just down the hill along Bondi Road, where the road meets the beach. At 2-12 Campbell Parade.

I had parked the car just off Bondi Road in Sandbridge Street and then walked down to Bondi Beach. That took me past this iconic backpackers hotel and I thought it was worth a photo or two!!
This legendary Backpackers Hotel was recently sold for $68 million dollars (AUS) and will be re-developed into a mega new hotel complex.
And for some 'alternative' chilled music, here is the funky 'Tosca' (the Austrian electronic duo, Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber) with their amazing 'Prysock':

At first, today, our newly named Sulphur Crested Cockatoo couple Jack and Tilly arrived for some breakfast seeds. Within a brief period, two more and then two more, six in all arrived out the back. That meant two plates of seeds! With six birds, there were sure to be shenanigans! Would they devour the timber back fence as is their habit? No...why something so tough when there is a whole Orange Tree full of fruit to chew. Jenny was a bit peeved but providing they didn't actually eat the oranges and only chewed them off it was going to save me a picking job on the weekend.
* Backpackers are usually young tourists who come to Australia to tour the country slowly with appropriate visas to allow them to do certain types of work. This often includes working in pubs and cafes or heading out into the country to farms to do often backbreaking work picking fruit and vegetables. But Australia heavily relies on these people and with the start of strawberry season in Queensland not far off, many will be engaged in picking one of our favourite berries. Yum!
On the wide shot of the panel where this glyph is, Curt mentioned that it reminded him of a backpacker with a hiking pole, hence the name.
I like the little voodoo-looking face mask guy, too.

On a dull and wet day, these backpackers provide some bright colour as they walk in front of one of the oldest trees in the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. That's the Arthur Wall (1829) in the background.
