Darwin Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

August 4th: Today was my second last day in Australia, and it was one of the best and hottest. We swam in Edith Falls and Florence Falls - each one was more refreshing than the last and greatly needed! It's about 35 degrees up here, enough to make you dizzy. I also got to hold a baby orphaned wallabee, whose mama was hit by a car. It was one of ...

Well I have been in Darwin for a week and half and thought it was about time I wrote to tell you about it especially now that I have caught up with the rest of my travels. I arrived on the Ghan and decided to stay at the same hostel as my friend Siobhan (the Irish girl I met on the Uluru tour). It is a large fairly new hostel in the "tourist pre...

We did some more exploring around Darwin while we still had the car, mainly around the coast; Fannie Bay, Cullen Bay, Stokes Wharf for barramundi and chips, then up to Lee Point. We also went to the old gaol and Darwin Museum and Art Gallery, where we listened to a talk and walked round an exhibition on Cyclone Tracey which happened in 1974.

The car arrived on Friday, and since then, the boys have been hard at work fixing it up to test on the race track. K has some photos of them all hard at work that I will try and get. I spent Friday morning buying the last bits and pieces for camping - there were rather a lot of them to buy and I had to sit down for a while after I paid up. But w...

Darwin Well we have made the half way mark and finally found a perfect climate. This is slightly marred by the amount of hungry blood sucking insects all out to get a nibble. Despite being wiped out by the Japenese in WW2 and cyclone tracey doing some hardcore damage in the 70's, Darwin is a suprisingly attractive place. No sign of any red neck ...

I'm writing this from Darwin, The Top End as locals refer to it, which is our latest stop-over. We're heading to Kakadu National Park tomorrow, then Katherine before making our way eastwards. Thanks for the responses, and sms's, to date ;-) Nix

Au retour de Kakadu, on projette de passer une semaine dans un WWOOF, cad une ferme bio ou contre 4 a 5 h de travail par jour, on est loges et nourris. Notre but est de partager la vie d'une famille australienne et de participer a leur travail quotidien. On achete donc le livre contenant toutes les adresses, et David repere un "village ecologiqu...

2 months on and we're still in Darwin, ironic really considering we only intended to stay for 2 days. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to tell you that one thing after the other has been going wrong with the van! It really has been more then a pain in the ****, it has been the bane of our lives for the past few months. So folks you could say tha...

Yesterday we drove around Darwin and ended up stumbling across the casino (what were the chances) which is about a two minute walk from the beach in a place called Fannie bay. Spent most of the day on the beach and by the pool in the casino. Then me and Dave went and had a bit of a flutter on Blackjack, money well spent there. Figured we would b...

Nach einer ueber 1'500 km langen Reise bin ich in Darwin angekommen und habe den Kakadu-Nationalpark besucht. Taeglich konnte ich an irgendeinem schoenen Ort baden gehen. Am Donnerstag geht es weiter die Westkueste hinunter nach Perth. Aber vorher muss ich noch Monica ein Zyklon (oder heisst es eine Zyklonin) abwarten. Details koennen unter http...
