Travel Junkies - Go to Sydney?

When I was a kid, I read a book called the "WalkAbout", or something like that.  It followed the story of an Australian native who was out walking through the dessert, alone.  If I recall correctly, it was a boy and the walk about was part of the trial of becoming a man.  He had to go into the dessert by himself for months and survive. At the time I thought it would be a great adventure.  I still do. But, now I'm an Ogre and would most likely stay at a hotel and drive an ATV across the landscape, killing eco systems and trampling ancient trials, loving it like a McDonald's commercial and getting drunk to escape my self loathing. Sound like fun? Any one want to go? Yeah? No? If so, check out this sub-section of CheaperThanHotels.com designed specifically for Australian travel:

Syndey Hotels
Darling Harbour Hotel
Melbourne Hotel

Note: The site has a nice feature of showing pricing in multiple currencies. Though, the design is bit garish and cluttered.  It reminds me of junior high cafeteria cheese sandwich, French fries and to much ketchup.
