“Just like Sophie Ellis Baxtor - all the right parts just not when put together”

The Y.W.C.A owned Banyan View Lodge is reasonably priced. It is in a great location if you want to get away from all the racket of the "business" end of mitchell street and has some great facilities.

There are also a variety of sleeping arrangement options to suit most needs, however it is spoilt by two major factors; Dirty rooms and bathrooms with old and worn facilities and Unfriendly, unmotivated staff who initially look at you with complete disregard, followed by hate and finally they just don't look at you at all!

The clientèle aren't that much better, as a lot seem to be long stay's and make it known that you are an interloper whenever you enter a communal area. This isn't too bad if you are only here to kip and don't care about the facilities, but then if you are this way inclined I'd go to one of the noisy cheaper options in the centre!

We arrived at 4am in Australia. Arrived at our hostel, which was shut. We then waited for 2 hours for the reception to open and went into our room. There was an issue with Em's top bunk bed (no ladder and a stranger underneath) so she climbed into my bunk bed. We went for a pub meal and looked around Darwin. That evening we went out and saw the …

Well our flight arrived at Darwin airport at 4.30am and we can't get into accommodation until 1pm. So we thought we'd try to sleep in the terminal but no chance. Was lovely to get a phone call from Alan and also speak to my Grandparents. At 7am we realise that the airport shuttle won't be running as no flights arrive till 12 so we get a taxi to …

Quiet chilling

Today we walked into town got a little food and then spent the rest of the day sitting by the pool sunbathing (although it was cloudy at some points). This evening we walking along the esplanade stumbled across a gig down there and then walked around a new development in Darwin called the Waterfront - they have a wave pool looks pretty cool but it' …

Didn't find croc dundee...but I played Sheilah

A travel blog entry by ashling

I landed into Darwin having slept the whole, almost empty, flight over. Not often I need to be woken up for landing....I was pooped.

Another smooth transfer to my hostel....crashed into bed and woke up with very, very small eyes. The night before I'd flipped through some leaflets on Darwin and croc tours and they all seemed to expensive …

Small step for man, a giant leap for Choy

And we are off! The monster first leg was covered by little effort from ourselves as jets tend to get to their destinations no matter our condition. We have to say that we were mightily impressed by Qantas onboard entertainment. It even put a few HTPCs to shame. On top of the traditional radio and games. It was truly a jukebox putting the latest …
