Hi all :-)

Hoping I can get some advice. I'm going to Australia in a while and will be needing a backpack. Nothing huge, as we have various places to stay, but will be hosteling it a little. I'm thinking 60 - 80litres (?), but I need to take into account:

Oz is going to be warmer than I'm used to
My lower back/hips sometimes play up (funny bones, aggravated muscles)
I'm female (so wondering if a woman-specific pack might be best)
I'm little! 5' 4" in my socks

Are there any particular features that you think I should look out for, taking these points into consideration?

Thanks,
Sophaholic
