backpack with wheels

    Heading to Oz in the summer on a working holiday visa and am trying to figure out what backpack to take. I'll be travelling the usual places in South East Asia for a few weeks before settling in Australia so for this reason I'm swaying alot more towards a backpack with wheels as I'll be in places where the wheels could be used most of the time.

    So I'm just wondering can anyone recommend a backpack with wheels (preferably for ladies/ that opens at the side rather than at the top?

    I was looking at the Berghaus ladies Jalan 65 + 15 with wheels and I'd love to know whether this backpack has a handle that can be extended to pull the case along or would you have to bend the whole time if you wanted to wheel it along.

    I was also looking at the following two cases and would appreciate it if anyone knows anything about them or has any advice:

    Boyf has this one - male version - AFAIK it does not have a extendable handle, it was his only fault with it in Oz.
