The answer is...
Some good guesses but nobody got that we're actually in Sydney Australia. Oh, we bet you're all kicking yourselves now!
After the excellent hospitality and quick tour of the city from Norbs (a real life Australian man) and Andre (hope I've spelt that right) we've moved into our hostel now. The best word to describe it is cheap. We're just outside Kings Cross, the seediest part of the city, just a short walk from sex shops and other hostels. We're not quite sure why backpacking and sex shops go together yet.
Our plans have changed now - we're probably going to buy a car head down south to Melbourne as it's one of the best times of year to visit. We're going to take our time over it though, and head along the south coast stopping at a few places on the way as it's supposed to be stunning down there. This does mean we'll be in Melbourne for the Grand Prix but that had nothing to do with our plans, obviously. Ahem.
Once we'd checked into the hostel, we had a wander round the gardens that end up at the Opera House, and then stopped for a beer there as the sun was setting. Not a bad way to spend an evening, we'd recommend it.
Today will be a bit more serious, we're going to see how our hostel compares to others and also maybe do a bit of car hunting. The most popular idea seems to be to get an old estate and sling a mattress in the back, then just stop at campsites to save a bit of money. Sounds like heaven.

Thanks for the hostel reccommendation. Since we're in Melbourne for a month or so, we might be better off renting or staying at a campsite. We must learn to live like hobos / students now.
We'll try and work out where they film Aerobics Oz Style and stand in the background. Might join in as well.
I haven't seen any 929s yet, unfortunately. Loads of MX-5s here though...
