What a great day at Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel in Melbourne! To celebrate October there was a big party last week. In Germany they throw big Oktoberfest parties, so we did! Decorations were stunning and everyone had a good time. Our outside deck turned into a beer garden and the Barbie was on fire. Bratwurst and sauerkraut at Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel makes me think about being in Europe. We even had a dance contest. Josh won with his outstanding dance, he convinced Nick totally so he won the prize. I really love being here at Nomads Industry, partying around and meeting up with all the different people.

Come over to party, just contact us by sending an e-mail to bookings@nomadsindustry.com. Don’t hesitate to party!

Cheers!

I think it’s safe to say that spring has come to Nomads Capital Backpackers in Wellington. The sun has been out and we’re BBQ’ing up a storm on our back patio. If you haven’t been down to Nomads Capital in Wellington yet, NOW is the time! I mean with views like this, you can’t pass it up.

Don’t forget our Rocky Horror Picture Show Halloween Party on October 31^st, happening at Nomads Capital’s hostel bar Blend! “Give yourself over to absolute pleasure. Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh - erotic nightmares beyond any measure, and sensual daydreams to treasure forever. Can’t you just see it? Don’t dream it, be it” … at Blend Bar!

Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel staff proved they can party just as hard as our Melbourne Backpackers Hostel guests as they cut loose last Wednesday night at the Industry staff party.

The Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel team kicked the night off with a Jaegertrain, Nomads Industry’s signature drink, before settling in for the long haul at a local pub.

General manager Penny plied her staff with copious amounts of wine and champagne, and as the night wore on general debauchery ensued..

Encouraged by the Penathon, the Nomads Industry team exhibited some seriously unruly behaviour, typical of backpackers hostel staff, where hidden desires were revealed..

…and a few misadventures later, certain staff were caught doing the walk of shame through the hostel, much to the amusement of the receptionist suffering on the early morning shift.

A great night was had by all, and some staff even managed to recover in time for the legendary Bombastic Thursday Night at Industry Bar and Lounge.

If you’re out for a killer time look no further than Nomads Industry Backpackers Hostel; with zany staff and outrageous drink specials you’re bound to have an entertaining night out!

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!!!

Well all the Sydney backpackers down here at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel have been warned they must be on their best behavior this month as we get ready to play our important role as the whole World looks on and Sydney comes to a standstill to Host World Youth Day 2008.

World Youth Day (WYD) is the largest youth event in the world and will be held in Sydney from Tuesday 15 to Sunday 20 July 2008. The Catholic church says it is close to achieving its pilgrims target for World Youth Day with 197,000 local and overseas Catholic youths headed for Sydney to see the Pope.

Backpackers and party people do not have to worry as we have kept a number of beds for our usual guests who are wanting to party it up at the Sydneys famous Maze Backpackers Hostel.

Please be aware that due to the busy period Sydney backpackers are warned to ensure that they pre-book and pay for all accommodation at Nomads Maze Backpackers for the month of July, so if your planning either to join in the festivities in town perhaps go and try your luck for a photo with Pope Benedict XVI or just to party it up with us at our youth hostel, please remember to plan ahead.

From all of us here at Nomads Maze Backpackers Hostel we hope you have a wonderful day and hope to see you soon!!
