Australia Day is Thursday, January 26, and there are a huge range of things to see and do, if you are here.
There is a lot of cultural variety, with performances of all kinds of arts around the city, including some major free concerts at the Domain, next to the CBD.
Note that the cost of the backpacker rooms art this hostel rises to US$49.64 if you are sharing with a friend
If you want to catch up in Sydney, particularly around Circular Quay after 5PM this Monday-Wednesday, let me know!
