I mean, obviously I'm a traveller. I'm going to Melbourne for a week (suss it out, thinking of moving there). I live in Brisbane (have my whole life).
SO, Is that wierd? Do people do that? Am I allowed to do that or when I arrive will they be like " err, you're quite clearly not a backpacker ".

If you plan to stay at multiple hostels as you travel then you can actually get discounts in backpacker hostels throughout Australia, just get a NOMADS brochure from any backpacker or travel agency the discount card can be used in various hostels, you don't have to be a backpacker to stay at any hostels, but i suppose with the card you'd be classed as a backpacker, i stayed at many hostels when i travelled from Sydney to Cairns, a journey that took 2 years to complete as i had so much of an adventure.....good luck...
Happy travelling...

No of course not. My friends stayed in a few different backpackers hostels around Melbourne during the Commonwealth Games and they loved it. ( I stayed in a hotel and then a Caravan Park only because I'm picky)

If you'll need a really fascinating town to invest your vacation then that town is Melbourne, find this town with hotelbye . One of the top tourist attractions in Melbourne is the Royal Botanic Gardens. Recognized in 1846, the Royal Botanic Gardens is rated as among the finest of these sort in the world. Protecting a location of 40 hectares and with increased than 50,000 flowers, including many unusual species, the gardens are visited by 1.5 million persons annually. Yet another place worth visited is Federation Square opened in 2002 to remember a century of federation. The ultra-modern style of open and closed places juxtaposes the encompassing Victorian architectural buildings. This place may hosting more than 2,000 functions annually, tourists may generally find leisure in the main outside performance space and personal interior venues. Federation Square also houses the Ian Potter Gallery dedicated to Australian art and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.

na thats cool i met a few people doing that. you will prob have a great time too! dont turn up in a suit or with expensive luggage cos sometimes reception staff will be suspicious, like, why is this guy not in a hotel? what is he up to? they have to look after the welfare of guests y'know, cos you are sharing with people so there is a level of trust you have to have with other people in your room.
if you get into the swing of it all you will have a great time! i met a girl in brizzy who came up from melbourne doing exactly what you are doing. she enjoyed the life so much she took off in a car to Perth with some people she met there! went to explore her country!
btw, how do you 'clearly' identify a backpacker?
