There's partying, and then there's partying down under. No one knows quite how to do it like they do in Australia, and no place sees more epic parties than the hostels on the coast. With perfect beach weather, some chill travelers, and a little jungle juice, it's easy to get FOMO when we're looking at pictures of all this lit action.

Don't believe us? That's totally cool because we've even got photos to prove it. For those who are crazy, rave-loving party animals, look no further than an Australian hostel trip to satisfy the savage urges within you. We should warn you, though... A well-tested hangover cure is likely the only remedy for partying like this. Hashtag 'sick life'?

20 We're Not Even Sure What That Pool Is Filled With

We started at mud wrestling and now we're here... in a pool full of a questionable substance. We'd have to believe that this is probably champagne - at least, that's what we're hoping - and these girls look like they're having a hella blast rolling around in it. Laundry day will probably be a blast.

19 For Some, Mosh Pits Are The Party

Hostels, concerts, mosh pits, it's all the same, right? As far as we're concerned, you can't have a good concert without some flailing and these teens seem to be doing plenty of that. If their Hawaiian shirts and outback-style sneakers weren't enough of a clue, this is not for the faint of heart.

18 Nothing Brings Party People Together Like A Concert

This photo captures the New Year's Eve party on Magnetic Island pretty well. It's a hella party, to say the least, especially for those staying in a hostel for the holidays. It's described as 'four days of food, beers, and babes', and there ain't no party like a North Queensland party.

17 Beanbags For The Post-Day Hangover Are Totally Necessary

It's gettin' hot in here, so pull out all your beanbags! We're pretty sure that's not how it goes, but the only thing we love more than a good party vibe is a good afterparty vibe. Any hostel that supplies oversized beanbags to lounge on while we recoup is a hostel that's good enough for us.

16 We're Getting Serious FOMO Vibes

There's one person in this picture, in particular, who truly makes it shine. We're not going to point them out but it's pretty obvious. This hostel by Down Under Hostels has just over an eight out of ten rating on Agoda and apparently, it's in pretty high demand... we can totally see why.

15 Party On A Boat, Anyone?

You know how the song goes and there's nothing like losing your inhibitions on a boat in the middle of the ocean. There are two choices on Australia's east coast: Dive the Great Barrier Reef off a boat, or party while on a boat. Clearly, this party crowd chose the latter; because who wouldn't want to be covered with champagne?

14 This Party Has Seen Some Action

When you first look at this photo, it looks like your typical club party. Look closer, my friends... literally every single person in this club is in a Mike-style Situation. One couple (or a random encounter?) is making out at the stage, two other girls are hip-bumping, the girl next to them probably doesn't even know where she is, and that's in one still frame.

13 Plastic Parties: The Newest Trend

All we know is that this party took place in Sydney and we're not really sure what the deal is with all those plastic bags. It could be some kind of up-cycling party since Australia is very eco-friendly. Regardless, we need to discuss one thing: Plastic bag footwear -  a new Aussie trend? It would take a lot of shots for us to agree to this plastic Barbie world.

12 Poolside Drinks Don't Get Much Better

Especially when you have giant bottles of champagne rather than glasses of wine. Australia is still pretty untamed compared to the rest of the world, and that goes for its party culture as well. These hotels are slave to no rules, so feel free to drink whatever you want in the pool... We're pretty sure the guy on the left is falling quite a ways behind, though.

11 Backflips, Front-Flips, Belly Flops, Who Cares, There's A Pool

If drinking in the pool isn't your thing, then maybe floating volleyball is. Or, maybe it's super-soaker competitions. Or, just maybe, you'd rather belly flop off the high-stand that sits at one end of the pool. Whatever your party trick is, you can rest assured that there are no rules here.

10 Just When We Thought Toga Parties Were For College

Australia is bringing them back and bringing them back in light pink, no less. Pink toga, pink drinks, and pink face from all that drinking. What could go wrong? We're just hoping that all of these party-goers are wearing some briefs under their togas. Or maybe not, if they're really aiming for authentic.

9 Chilling Outdoors Is The Millenial Way, Even At Hostels

Parties don't need to be out of control and wild all the time, so queue the outdoor concert. With much more space to roam around, plenty of lounging room, and a calmer atmosphere, this is still a pretty epic way to spend a day. Everyone looks super chill here, despite the fact that there are hundreds of people around them.

8 Luminescent Body Paint Pumps Up The Hype

If there's one thing we love, it's body paint. If there's anything we love even more, it's glow in the dark body paint. And, if there's anything we love even more than that, it's a glow in the dark body paint party. After a few boozy drinks, the glow-up is real... literally.

7 Who Says They Don't Have Green Beer Down Under?

While St. Patrick's Day is a high holy holiday in Ireland, the rest of the world doesn't see it that way. For the rest of us, it's a day to drink, be merry, and ponder whether or not leprechauns actually exist. In Australia, it's a day to drink green beer and, well, be green.

6 Floppy Hats, Ice Cream, And Some Serious Gold Coast Shopping

There's no better way to get someone out of bed after a night of hard drinking than to sway them with shopping. We can't think of a better place to do so than at the seaside shops on the coast, complete with floppy hats and some of the best honeycomb ice cream you've ever tried in your life.

5 Even The Bars Get Turnt Up

Sidebar is famous for its nightlife and even more famous for its crazy party scene. There's something for everyone here, from dancing to mechanical bulls and, of course, a full drink menu. The best part is that it's within a reasonable distance from some pretty choice hostels, meaning you'll be yelling 'ride 'em, cowgirl!' in no time.

4 Hostels: Bringing People Together, One Neon Lanyard At A Time

Despite the obvious color scheme of this photo, we're pretty sure it's a rule that what happens at hostels, stays at hostels. It's like Fight Club: The second unspoken rule is that you always enter as strangers and leave as friends... or maybe something a bit more depending on how many fruity drinks you order.

3 This Is What 'Down Time' Looks Like

Tons of food, plenty of lounging space, and a chill atmosphere is all you really need to unwind before heading out for the day. Throw in an acoustic guitar and some wicker furniture and you've got a 'kumbaya' party in the making, and we definitely don't hate it.

2 Rocking Out To Live Music Is One Of The Many Allures Of A Hostel

At one of many bars and clubs surrounding the east coast's hostels, you can often find any number of live bands. For those who love some great tunes with their adult beverages, we bring you the bar concert: Up close and personal with musicians while still having just enough of a party vibe.

1 Not Much Needs To Be Said About This One

We'd be lying if we said this didn't look like a good time. After all, what happens down under stays down under (we hope) and it looks like this is one of those times. If nothing else, this guy is one of the lucky ones... we just hope one of these girls isn't his actual girlfriend.
