DARWIN
WHERE IS DARWIN?
The Northern Territory is a huge area of 1.35 million square kilometres with a population of only 209,000 and Darwin is the Capital city situated in the far north of this territory. Although Darwin is the least populated of all of Australia?s state capitals it is by far the most populated city in the Territory. This part of Australia is known as the Top End and this includes Arnhem Land (which is Aboriginal Land) and the Kakadu National Park (Crocodile Dundee country).
The Stuart Highway starts at Darwin and runs in an almost straight line to Alice Springs (The red Centre) and then continues on to Adelaide in South Australia. The Highway covers a distance of over 3,000 km and no map would be needed as there are no turns to take!

Travelodge Mirambeena Resort Darwin ? Cavanaugh Street.
LOCATION:
The location is right in the centre of the city/town of Darwin and very easy walking distance to supermarkets and restaurants as well as the sea front of Darwin. It was perfect for a short stay as you could very quickly get to most places of interest in the town. There are 224 Air-conditioned rooms and also 32 Self-contained Townhouses in the resort complex.
THE HOTEL:
This hotel is set back from the road and the entrance has palm trees either side, the drive leads into a reasonable sized car park. An undercover car park was also available and while that may not sound too thrilling to us Brits it is VERY useful when outside temperatures are over 35°C almost every day and well over that in the summer .The reception doors are all you can see from the front ? glass ...
Advantages: Plenty to see, a relaxing escape from the city. Disadvantages: Expensive for a one-off visit. Disappointing restaurant.
Every city need its green spaces. The architecture may be spectacular and the shops fantastic, but finding a place to escape the traffic and bustle is a necessity for most city dwellers. Picture Birmingham and what do you see? The Bullring, New Street Station and Spaghetti Junction would be the first things that come to my mind. Although I've never lived in Birmingham itself, I worked there for several years. During that time I went to the BotanicalGardens regularly, but for the purposes of this review I will focus on my most recent visit which was August 2008.
A Brief History
Celebrity gardeners are not a new phenomenon. In the nineteenth century J.C Loudon was an influential writer on gardening and became part of London's high society. He designed the Birmingham BotanicalGardens in 1830 to provide a place where keen ...
