The word on the street, however, can go completely one way or the other depending on the person you ask. And, when the website lists crab racing and all you can eat pizza as some of its activities for the week, you can see why!

• Monday: Crab Racing
• Tuesday: Mix Pool Competition
• Wednesday: Live Music
• Friday/Saturday: All You Can Eat $10 Pizza & Live DJs
• Sunday: Free Pool

I took a look at eatability.com and found some interesting reviews for Scubar:

• So much fun, had a cracker of a night at this bar, load of travellers so good mix of people.
• Not a good pickup joint cause it’s incredibly noisy and by the time you can eventually buy someone a drink, their visa will have expired.
• The Scubar has bred in me a love for all things foreign! Believe me, if you’re looking for a solid time in Sydney head down, all the way down to the Scubar.
• It’s a crappy tourist bar full of seedy backpackers. It’s about the size of a beer can and they cram about 300 sweaty guys onto a dance floor where the only thing worse than the music is the girls. But hey Monday night.. cheap jugs…

What do you think, Furnished Property tenants? Is Scubar the best backpackers bar in Sydney, or does it leave you with nothing but a headache and empty pockets?

We care about the health and well-being of our tenants, so we want them to be well-informed of the dangers of the Australian sun. The facts sheet available on the The Department of Health and Ageing’s website is quite the shock, but these facts should be known.

Did you know:

• Australia has the highest skin cancer incidence rate in the world.
• Australians are four times more likely to develop a skin cancer than any other form of cancer.
• Approximately two in three Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70.

Now, we don’t want to scare anybody from totally avoiding the beach. The sun can still be enjoyed; there just needs to be more precautions in line.

Tips for proper sun protection: Wear a hat! Long sleeves! Find shade! Good sunglasses! Apply SPF30+ sunscreen! When not in the water at the beach, cover with light clothing. Apply sunscreen regularly, especially if you have been swimming. Avoid the prime sun hours of the day when the sun is the strongest.

If you have ever found yourself in an internet cafe listening to someone with a headset talk to the computer screen, you have more than likely already encountered a Skype call in action, but the real benefit is making one yourself. All it takes is an internet connection and a free Skype account to take advantage of the no-cost Skype-to-Skype calls.

With that being the case, why is it that so many Furnished Property tenants have not yet tried it out? Nearly half of the tenants polled had said they never used Skype and typically relied on email and phone calls to keep in touch.

One Furnished Property tenant from Ireland stated, “I mostly use email, and I ring them once a week. I sometimes use MSN Messenger.”

Skype has been loved by backpackers since 2003, the year it was released, because it helped the budget traveller keep in touch with less impact on their travel funds. Seems like anyone concerned with a few extra dollars here and there, such as working holiday visa holders and international students, should jump at the opportunity to cut out extra costs. However, that does not appear to be happening.

And, it is not the case that they had never heard of Skype before. Of those same tenants polled, all of them knew what Skype was, but half had just not gotten around to trying it out.

“No, I’m a bad backpacker,” a Swedish tenant replied when she was asked if she had ever used Skype before. “I think about Skype, but mostly stay with calls and some emails.”

Here’s how it works:

Install the Skype software on your computer by visiting the website. Create a user name and search for friends already online. When this process has been completed, Skype can be used as an instant messaging program, much like MSN Chat or Yahoo Messenger.

Attach a headset to the computer, or just use your computer’s built-in microphone and speakers, and the program can now be used to make internet phone calls to other Skype users that are also logged on. What this means is if your family and friends back home also install the program and sign on, you can talk as long as you want – FOR FREE!

To take Skype to the next level, you can add in a webcam. That’s right, not only can you talk for free, but you can also see each other in the process. The world won’t feel so small to loved ones on the other side of the world anymore when you can both sit down and have face-to-face chats.
