Hi guys,

I'm planning to travel to Canberra for a few days and stay in some backpackers hostels such as YHA, canberra accomodation and etc.

Any recommendation on which backpackers hostel to choose? How far is O conners to ANU?

Besides that, is it better to stay in Manuku or Kingston (near to the train station).

Only thing I remember about Canberra accommodation is that it's really hard to find somewhere with fox sport. I called round loads of places trying to find somewhere, eventually got a motel type place, best western I think, who promised me I'd be able to watch the football on fox sport at 4am. only to get there and check into the room to find out they had jsut about every satellite channel except for fox sport went doen to the tradies club and they were shutting early due to some brawl that had occurred earlier in the evening there so that option was out got back to hotel and speant next few hours unsuccessfully trying to find said football match on the radio

O'conner is easy walking distance to ANU. Bus transport is good.
Kingston railway station used to only have 2 trains a day from memory. A pleasant walk around the lake to the ANU. Watch out for the lunch time joggers!

Use www.whereis.com.au for distances.

I'm still considering whether to stay in YHA, City walk hotel or somewhere near manuka or kingston. Any suggestion or comments?
