hey! so when you are staying at the Melaleuca on Mitchell are you in a dorm room or semi private? I cant decide as I will probably be so tired and want to try and sleep well the first night. I also think I will stay at the travelodge hotel the 2nd night

    Ah cool, I am not sure about the Travellodge yet as it wasnt confirmed as the hostel when I booked - I booked through a different agent but they said I will ahve full details about 2 weeks before we go. We could well end up in the same room then! Not long now... :D BIG smiles

    yeah i booked a semi private as well so that will be nice to get some sleep after a longgg flight. At the travelodge I think I am a multishare room with 3 other girls. The contiki people said it is a room with other ppl on contiki tours as well so we shall see.

    Hello there - Im staying there on my first night which is the 29th but I dont get in till like 2.30am - I just wanted somewhere to get at least a few hours sleep after a looonnng flight there! Like you said I also want to try and get some decent sleep in so have actually booked a single room.. its more expensive but I thought it would be worth it on the first night seeing as I only have a few hours to get refreshed and that way you dont have to worry about meeting and greeting when all you want to do is get into bed! Then on the 30th I checkin to the Travel Lodge - not 100% what room i booked there without checking but I liked the idea of not having to go far to the meet point - we would already be there! x

    Yeah! Cant wait. I think I get there really early hours of 29th so will check in for a few hours kip and then have the day free for exploring Darwin a bit and checking into the other place so I can dump my bag. Closer to the time we shall have to investigate where were staying and Darwin and decide somewhere to meet up and when :) This is all very exciting and I love it that we kind have connected with peeps beforehand so we can just get excited about it without even having to wonder who you'll be spending the month with!
