It was yet again another great day in Sydney and an even better day to be having a free beach BBQ! It was a record 31 degrees and the perfect setting for a free beach BBQ with our two Sydney Backpackers Hostels, Westend Backpackers and Maze Backpackers.

There are many free activities hosted throughout the week. Westend backpackers hostel is one of the cheapest youth hostels in Sydneys central business district.

It was a wonderful Saturday on the beach and an even better night at the Gaff. The Gaff’s second annual white party was a huge success!!! It was the simplest of themes and worked out really well. When the lights went off and the black lights came on it was a sight to remember!

The party lasted until the early hours in the morning and when some of the Sydney Backpackers left, the sun was out high in the sky. It is lucky that we had an angel with us to make sure we all made it back to our youh hostels safely. Yet again another successful fancy dress theme party at Westend Backpackers Sydney!

It was yet again another free event put on by Westend Backpackers Hostel, one of Sydney’s premiere youth hostels. Westend Backpackers Hostel Sydney offers free activities everyday of the week and with its central location it is just a short bus ride to the beach.  

The sun was shining there were whales in the ocean the scenery could not have been better.  The free BBQ for 70 people went as planned but there were a few unexpected guests in the ocean!!! Two whales were seen frolicking in the ocean less than 50 meters from the shore!!! It was an unbelieveable sight and was part of yet again a great day on the beach in Sydney.

Well hello extremely loyal readers… We felt as though our Sydney Backpackers were getting bored, so youth hostel staff at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel and Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel decided to throw a Spandex party…

The posters were all over Nomads Maze Hostel and read, SPANDEX PARTY FRIDAY NIGHT - Free Wine for an hour at 8pm and two for one drinks at the bar! The tighter and brighter, the better! SPANDEX- THE ART OF LOOKING GOOD WHILST WEARING THE TIGHTEST CLOTHES POSSIBLE!!

So we were fairly merry, to say the least, especially as The Maze Backpackers drank 45 litres!!!! Here are some of the most ridiculous pictures from the night, and i think you’ll find that the pictures tell their own story!!!

A Smurfing good time was had by all the backpackers at Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, Sydney the other night. This Sydney Youth Hostel is one of the premiere hostels in Sydney throwing the best fancy dressed theme nights.

The theme this time was SMURFS and with free wine and with free blue body paint everyone was up for getting painted and having a great time… There were a bunch of Smurfs that wandered down to The Gaff from Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel, showing their true colours. A smurfing great time was had by all the smurfs, with some of the naughty backpackers not getting back until the sun was once again shining high in the sky..

Theme nights are a regular thing here at this centrally located Sydney backpackers hostel. So if you want to find out more email Nomads Westend or stay tuned for the Ms Westend Competition which will feature all the guys in drag competing for the bragging rights and the title of Ms. Westend. 

The old Entertainment Managers reunite at one of the “HOTTEST” nights that Maze Backpackers Hostel Sydney has to offer!!

It was all about the entertainment guys on friday night at this Nomads Hostel…… with the old entertainment guy, Paul MacNamara,  returning to his long lost friend and partner in crime Matthew Polowyk (entertainment manager) of Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel!! 

The friendly staff and backpackers of Sydney Youth Hostels The Maze and Nomads Westend also happened to be celebrating the 4th of July…. although some of the backpackers happened to be doing it in their own ’special’ ways.

Toga seemed to be the main theme at the youth hostels on Pitt Street with many of the backpackers adorning their bedsheets and strutting from the hostel, heads held high following Paul and Matt who were dressed rather less respectably than the rest of the Nomads Hostel backpackers…

With Matt, the Nomads Westend Backpackers Hostel entertainer flaunting himself dressed as the naked cowboy, who runs around New York City with just a guitar, and Paul The Maze backpackers hostels entertainer mixing it up as a white Apollo Creed(Rocky 1, 2 + 3) FACT!! 

The night was a fantastic party although it was just a warm up for the upcoming spandex party…!! Organised by these two Sydney Backpackers Hostels and to be held at Scubar!! Its all about the spandex baby!!!

Here at Legend has it Westend we have a wide range of free activities!!! The Bondi to Coogee beach walk is said to be one of the top ten things to do while in Sydney! It is a fun filled, action packed, two hour guided tour, by two of the most knowledgable guides in Sydney! The Sun was shining there were no clouds in the sky… It was a beautiful winters day and some would say it was a perfect day for the beach walk and we couldn’t have agreed more. The tide was the highest it has been in months and the waves all along the coast were massive.  It is whale migrating season and the largest pod of whales is close to Sydneys shores… no whales has been sighted yet but we are keeping our hopes high…

There are many fun facts and interesting stories along the way which include the famous John Durkin (better known as the “hobo” on the rocks), suicide point, Clovelley Bowling Club, and the old light house! With stops along the way at Bronte beach it is not an ardous walk and a great time is had by everyone.

It was a glorious Sunday in Sydney and the perfect setting for the much anticipated football match between Legend Has it Westend and the Maze!!! Two rival Nomads hostels that are located right across the streetfrom one another. There was lots of anticipation for the  game as over 80 people turned out for the match. The Maze has been doing training sessions for the past few weeks and were definitely the better side with a surprising blow out.

Westend was out matched but not out classed. The results of the game was not in Westends favour but it was a hard fought game. The game featured many injuries which included no less then 3 broken fingers and a chipped knee. It was definitely a battle on the field and Westend is determined to start some training sessions and get ready for the next match.

With the Man of the Match Award going to Ruairi, and  with the final presentation of the Triangle Trophy to the Maze.  The cards have been dealt for some great test matches in the following comming weeks. So if you are good at football, Westend can use a couple of ringers.

The after party was held at the Gaff party bar and nightclub. It was a great night at the Gaff which featured $8 jugs all night long, Rob Henry on acoustic guitar, the famous Gaff  quiz, and a free roast dinner to top it all off. It was a great day on the field and a great night having a few drinks with the opponents. So football fans make your way down to Sydney to be part of this heated rivalry on the pitch. Just make sure you stay at Westend as we have never beaten the Maze and can use your help. CHEERS

It was the famous quiz night at Legend Has it West End Sydneys best backpacker hostel in the CBD. Quiz night involves one free hour of ALL YOU CAN DRINK WINE and great prize giveaways. It was Sean Peter Anderson’s birthday and he is afraid of growing up and facing the real world. So we decided to do a BABY FANCY DRESS THEME PARTY!!!

There were a lot of people in Nappies and some would say you can never look good in a Nappy but we now strongly disagree. A pack of babies invaded the Sydneys Sidebar for live acoustic music and a 2-4-1 DRINK VOUCHER ON ARRIVAL. Then the famous DJ Shipwreck on the turn tables spinning music until the wee hours of the morning.

In the morning there was a lot of whinning babies about having such a good time they drank too much and now are under the weather. It is a good thing that at Legend Has it Westend we do a free costal walk from the world famous Bondi beach to Coogee beach. There are lots of interesting facts along the beach walk that include: the hobo on the rocks, suicide point, and the Clovelly Bowling club. Jumping in the ocean is quite possibly the absolute best way to get rid of a hangover and it is always a great walk.

Make sure you guys check out all the free activities at Legend Has it Westend!!! I promise to show you a great time and make you part of the Westend family. See you soon!!!

Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel and Legend Has It… Westend Backpackers Hostel in Sydney are organising a football game of epic proportions this Sunday at The Botanic Gardens.

Situated directly across the street from one another in the centrally located Pitt St, participants from the two Sydney youth hostels are often pitted against each other in drinking competitions, quiz nights, and rival chants from across the street.

“This will be no contest”, says slightly cocky entertainments Manager at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel, Matt Murfitt (Kiwi Matt), “we will wipe the floor with their tears”.

Meanwhile Legend Has It… Westend backpackers are distributing flyers depicting football star Cristiano Ronaldo vs A Little Girl to denote their expectations for the game’s outcome. The game is one of several scheduled to take place over the coming months. Players include both long-term and short-term backpacking travellers from both youth hostels.

For up-to-date information on the out-come of the match, keep posted on this page. Click the following links for more information on Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostels activities or Legend Has It Westend Hostels activities.

Matt our adorable pink haired entertainment guru here at Legend Has It…. Westend Backpackers Hostel in Sydney has made a call to arms….we need more boys!

And if you were in any doubt of the effect this is having on him check out the Legend Has It Westend Youth Hostel photos of our regular Tuesday night out in one of Sydney’s best backpacker bars - World Bar - where girls (and boys dressed as girls) get lots of free champagne.
