Australia, where the sun never stops shining and the party never ends. Not content with bringing you the best places to party in\u00a0Europe<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Asia,<\/a> we\u2019ve now moved our party list Down Under with 10 of the best places to party in Australia.<\/p>\n

\n

1. Melbourne<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly the coolest place to party in all of Australia, Melbourne is where you go if you want a little culture with your Carlton Draught. Visit Fitzroy and you\u2019ll be surrounded by some of the finest street art, dive bars and live music known to man. Start off with a few beerskis over at Bar Open<\/a>, hit up Night Cat<\/a> or Cherry Bar<\/a> for some live music then end the night (or morning, is it?) with a boogie down at the\u00a0Laundry Bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d rather stick to downtown Melbourne, then give Emerald Peacock<\/a> a look or head to Section 8<\/a> for its cool little outside area. Definitely pay Ponyfish Island a visit too \u2013 it\u2019s in the river, for Christ\u2019s sake!<\/p>\n

Of course, you can\u2019t ignore the beach, not in Australia, not even in Melbs. Head out to St. Kilda, brave that ever changing weather. When you\u2019ve had enough, bounce into the Esplanade Hotel<\/a> and start the party all over again. Boom!<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:<\/strong> As one reviewer put it \u201cBase was the best party is town every night of the week\u201d. Yup, it has to be\u00a0<\/em>Base St. Kilda.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Melbourne<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Sydney<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Sydney is like Batman to Melbourne\u2019s Joker, an epic intercity rivalry that stretches on into the ether. While Melbs probably wins on the creative front, where Sydney does undoubtedly win out is its beaches (and beachside bars).<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly the most popular seaside spot is Bondi, which will be packed tight with bathers any time the sun is out (which is always). Move inland from the surf just a little and you\u2019ll find the Hotel Bondi and Side Bar<\/a> (attached to the Wake Up! Hostel) where you\u2019re likely to find countless fellow travellers and locals alike, all well up for a party into the early hours.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re sick of the sand in your shoes, head central. Jacksons on George<\/a> has a 24 hour license and opens late while Scruffy Murphy’s<\/a> is just huge and always has something going on. Then finally, looking to compete with Melbourne\u2019s music vibe, the Oxford Art Factory<\/a>, which puts on some of the best bands from all around, followed by some pretty sweet club nights.<\/p>\n

Also, keep an eye out for Sydney\u2019s underground parties. Promoters like People Must Jam<\/a>, Picnic<\/a> and Under the Radar<\/a> put on popular nights in warehouses and venues across the city. Then there\u2019s also the chance of coming across the odd beach party, but these are very secret affairs, so keep your ear to the ground \u2013 best to ask a local.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:<\/strong> Thanks to the Side Bar that sits underneath this hostel, it\u2019s one of the easiest places to meet fellow backpackers and a nice cheap place for a few warm up drinks. Definitely has to be\u00a0<\/em>Wake Up!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Sydney<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

3. Byron Bay<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Sydney\u2019s beaches might be great, but they aren\u2019t Byron Bay great. A surf town with cool, chilled hippie-alternative vibes, it\u2019s something of an Australian party mecca.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

So, where to start? Undoubtedly your first port of call the Railway Friendly Bar<\/a> or\u00a0Treehouse on Belongil<\/a> for some stellar live music, before heading over to Cheeky Monkey<\/a> to dance on the tables. Or alternatively, you could spend the entire night in\u00a0Woody’s Surf Shack<\/a> and tick off all those things in one place\u2026<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick: <\/strong>With a 24:7 party atmosphere, pool and located right opposite Cheeky Monkeys, it\u2019s got to be\u00a0Backpackers Holiday Village.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Byron Bay<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

4. Gold Coast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

It might not be the classiest of parties, but it sure is one of the biggest. The main party area is centred around the Surfer\u2019s Paradise suburb of the city. There are countless clubs here, all open late and all playing the latest floor fillers, so as long as you like that kind of thing, picking one shouldn\u2019t be hard. If you really want to push it to the limit, join one of the organised pub & club crawls, like Hangover Crawl orWicked Club Crawl<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

If your tastes are a little more specialist and you want to escape the repetitive sounds of the chart toppers, then seek out the Elsewhere bar<\/a>. It\u2019s open late, caters solely to the alternative crowd and has a slightly older clientele (aiming for 21\u2019s and over). Although it still spins predominantly dance music, its grungey interior and playlist would still suit the more indie-orientated amongst you.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick: <\/strong>Pool, bar and other backpackers, what else could you need?\u00a0<\/em>Surfers Paradise Backpackers Resort<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Gold Coast<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

5. Airlie Beach & Whitsundays<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

While Airlie Beach is a party town in its own right, it\u2019s the party cruise<\/a> around the Whitsunday Islands that\u2019s the real draw. The islands themselves are tropical perfection, with white sands and glistening turquoise water, all under Australia\u2019s burning northern sun. With bars on the boats, pumping tunes and even a fun slide, this is the ultimate party that tours paradise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Of course, no one\u2019s quite ready to give in once the boat trip is finished. Most travellers hit up the main strip afterwards for a one-night booze fuelled debriefing before moving on. Favourites include the massive Magnums and the Mama Africa Bar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:<\/strong> For the Downunder Bar, head to\u00a0Base Airlie Beach Resort<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Airlie Beach<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

6. Magnetic Island<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Named for the magnetic effect it had on Captain James Cook\u2019s compass back when he was busy discovering the great land of Oz, now the island pulls in countless party goers for its Full Moon Party<\/a>. International and local DJs will spin tunes on the beach beside the Base Backpackers Hostel, attracting around 3000 revellers every month, who slap on the body paint and groove beside the fire twirlers until the sun comes up.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:<\/strong> Even outside of Full Moon time,\u00a0<\/em>Base<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/a>is the place to be for a party on Magnetic Island.<\/em><\/p>\n

Book a hostel on\u00a0<\/em>Magnetic Island<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

7. Nimbin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Located a little inland from Byron Bay, Nimbin is the ultimate hippie town. Although it can be a little sleepy at times, it really comes alive during Mardi Gras<\/a>. The street are filled with people, colourful costumes and floats shaped like spliffs, as the music blares and the bongos drum. Most definitely worth a look if you\u2019re around during the beginning of May.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:<\/strong> For its cool, chilled hippie vibe, go for\u00a0<\/em>Nimbin Rox YHA<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Cairns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Cairns has some of the best nightlife in all of Australia, especially for the backpacker or traveller on a budget. It\u2019s always worth hitting one of the major hostel bars to start the night with some cheap beers and grub \u2013 Nomads, Calypso or Gilligan\u2019s should cover this nicely. Then, when you\u2019re sufficiently watered, head to Woolshed<\/a> and dance on the tables.<\/p>\n

\"Places<\/p>\n

Alternatively, join the Ultimate Party Tour<\/a> pub crawl and hit every popular night spot in town. It\u2019s fine, you can recover while you splash about the Great Barrier Reef. There are worse ways to get over a hangover.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick: <\/strong>We\u2019ve mentioned it before and we\u2019ll mention it again, for a party atmosphere, head to\u00a0<\/em>Gilligan\u2019s<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Cairns<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

9. Darwin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"18_10PartyOzDiscoveryDarwin\"<\/p>\n

Man, it is hot up here – a perfect excuse for a beer, I\u2019d say. Like with most cities favoured by backpackers, it\u2019s best to hit up the hostel spots first. Chilli\u2019s Backpackers has a great, cheap bar and is always packed with travellers from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Otherwise there\u2019s Shenannigans<\/a>, an Irish pub that\u2019s also popular with the backpacking scene. Both are cheap, cheerful and will put you in good stead for the night ahead. Once you\u2019re sufficiently socially lubricated, bang on to one of the major clubs. Discovery<\/a> is Darwin\u2019s biggest, so proves an obvious choice.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Chilli\u2019s<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is always going to be a good way to start the night, so why not stay there?<\/em><\/p>\n

Book a hostel in\u00a0<\/em>Darwin<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

10. Perth<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"19_10PartyOzPerth\"<\/p>\n

Perth is no longer the isolated and sleepy small town it once was. Now it\u2019s a bustling metropolis on Australia\u2019s quieter but beautiful West Coast, the perfect kicking off point to explore the other half of Oz. Like all major settlements in Australia, Perth is geared perfectly for the backpackers and budget traveller crowd, with countless bars, clubs and backpacker hostels all over the city.<\/p>\n

\"20_10PartyOzPerthVilla\"<\/p>\n

An ideal kick off point for a night out is the Barracks Bar at the\u00a0Old Swan Barracks Backpacker Hostel<\/a>. It\u2019s one of the best places in town to load up on cheap drinks, line your stomach and recruit fellow travellers for the night ahead. Alternatively you can grab a group and head to the Cottesloe Beach Hotel<\/a> and watch the sunset over the beach with a few beers, not a bad way to start the evening.<\/p>\n

\"21_10PartyOzAmplifierPerth\"<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re feeling a little silly, look to relocate to one of the city\u2019s numerous clubs.Villa<\/a> is one if the biggest clubs in town, spread over two levels with three bars, attracting touring DJs from all over the world. Otherwise there\u2019s Amplifier<\/a>, which is known for its live music in the earlier evening, and dance parties and themed nights once it gets late. Or there The Deen<\/a>, Perth\u2019s biggest party pub with a whopping nine bars, playing an eclectic mix of electronic and dance music to keep you moving until the morn. Perfect.<\/p>\n

Our party hostel pick:<\/strong> With its \u201cbuzzing\u201d atmosphere, it has to be The\u00a0<\/a><\/em>Emperors Crown Backpackers<\/a><\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n
