Hi all, I thought it would be a good idea to introduce myself.
I'm Matt, from Australia. I found this site when searching for backpacker tips for my upcoming trip to NZ (June-July).
I must say that so far there has been some excellent advice given by the members here . I hope to learn a lot from the experiences of other members, and hopefully soon being able to share advice of my own and contributing to the forums.
So for the moment, go easy on me. I don't have much experience travelling.

Welcome to the boards!
And don't worry - we're all nice here. Some of us may have a questionable sense of humour, but you'll get to know everyone as time goes by.

Queenstown for my whole trip. At least that is the plan ATM.
I hear they have some fun things to do down there.
Thanks for the warm welcome people.
