So made it to Darwin safely from Singapore! Airport shuttle took us straight to hostel at 4.30am. Very tired,check in not until 2pm, amazing receptionist let us in at 6.30am for a well deserved sleep! Loved that women! 1.30pm went to get breakfast everything expensive here, but got to eat! Then went back to do first proper wash in two weeks! It was territory day in oz, this is the only day they can let off fireworks! Randomly found out that everyone would be gong to mindil beach for fireworks, so me, steve and Caroline (roommate) took a free bus to/from mindil beach! They put on an amazing display after sunset and we all sat on the beach, such a great atmosphere! Mindil Beach Market was also put on for this occasion, which was great! I love oz! Also loving taking advantage of the free Internet, bus and firework display, at least we'll have money for food! Next day I sunbathed at the lagoon down at the Darwin waterfront, I so could do this everyday, and still come back pale! Lol! We then had to leave at 2am for the airport to Cairns. Got in at 9.30am then waited for an hour and a half for the nomad pick up, tired and hacked off but it was free. We then thought that the hostel was in the middle of nowhere but they provide a free shuttle bus to town (great) then found out breakfast was free and we can get a meal and drink for 3 dollars, loving this place! Also found an amazing cafe with tea and scones for 6 dollars, hate to say it but it was better than a dobbies scone, and they had free wi fi (love this town)! Sitting here now for breakfast and may also do lunch here also as the food is amazing!
Any messages from friends and family would be great!
