  @wenzhel - sorry hindi pa ako nakapunta adelaide.. hehe..
  pero i guess between 30-50aud is reasonable price per night for a hostel.
  mababasa mo nmn mga review.. check mo kung okay na ang location kung malapit sa transpo/food/cbd..
  
  contact mo din ung mga taga adelaide dito sa thread.., pm mo sila baka matulungan ka nila hanap ng permanent place...

  @lock_code2004 as per the reviews dun sa hostel na cnabi ko e di maganda yung place. maraming negative comments like madumi, me surot, etc...baka magbackpack oz na lang ako as suggested by @countess...mas mahal ng konti pero I think mas worth it..AUD60 per night with breakfast and BBQ dinner every wed...

  i'm trying to check n lang online s backpackers OZ para mas makatipid.mukhang ok nman ang review nya based s tripadvisor...malapit lang ba un sa crown plaza? kse ung first 4 days ko s crown plaza kami stay ng daughter ko.. eh kung near lang eh visit n lang ako personally dun pra magpabook..
  nakakainis nga ung indian n nirefer s aken nung agency ko dito s dubai, una ang alok s aken eh 250 per week n room, ang mahal . Then, supposedly i-assist nya ako upon landing since kasama un s service n binayaran ko s agency .. ung mga kelangang ipa register.. unfortunately , a week before my flight , nagsabi n uuwi daw cila ng canada.. so wala din , same day ng dating ko, that night alis nila..
  kung kelan nman malapit na, saka nagkakaroon ng mga hassle..
  hay naku, nkaka-bother n tlga, hirap nung d mo alam anong nag-iintay n kapalaran s amin dyan..
  in God's grace hope everything will fall into right place ..

  You dont need work para makakuha ng TFN, you can even do that online http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content.aspx?doc=/content/41612.htm
  You just need your visa and passport.
  
  By the way how young is your daughter nga po? If you dont mind me asking.
