yes, I think you are better off using Booking.com to find inexpensive places to stay as opposed to taking a tent (and assoc gear) , because if you have to pay $20 a night for a campsite, then for not much more you can get hostel type accomodation with all its facilities thrown in. An example - The BIG HOSTEL near the Sydney central station for $28 a night.
I am currently doing a 2 month ride in NZ and gave up on the idea of tenting.
If you get wet during the day, you need a hot shower and a place to dry your clothes. You avoid the problem of security if you go off during the day to look at stuff.
