Darwin - get me out of here
After an easy flight from Cairns, I arrive in Darwin with Linda, my new German friend. She had already booked into a hostel, so I decided to join her at the same hostel.

Before we headed into the park we …

Went out for a sweet dinner for my birthday (missed steak over the previous months …

Stayed here for a day and night...what is the story with the weather here....it hasn't been this hot and humid since Suva in Fiji....it's swealtering.

“The worst hostel ever”
Reviewed Apr 28, 2011
This hostel is absolutely disgusting. It's like staying in a prison cell. One staff member is ridiculously rude. There are bed bugs and then staff don't even apologise for this. My arms are bitten to shit. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
