MEGS: Slept until 9.15, not even the sound of the Greyhound buses awoke me! Then realised we had to pack up and check out by 10. That we did, and moved into out last hostel in Australia, Globetrotters. For 4 dollars more we get a double room with air con, fan, shower and toilet, and a fridge. Tried to blag a TV from another room, but the maid freaked out! Darwin TV channels are shite anyway so no big loss. Photo’s are done – not very good ones to get enlarged (free toothpaste thingy offer) Took out stuff to send back tom the UK, hope it makes it, the box was quite small. Big search for a good restaurant to eat at for our last night in Oz. Went up to Mindil Beach, 15-20 minute walk from hostel, very nice beach, almost deserted. Stayed until 5ish for the sunset market, wich mainly had lots of lovely smelling food; we shared possum satay – tasted like pork.
ALEX About 6 months ago, if someone had asked me if I’d tried Possum Satay, I wouldn’t have realised it existed! Its really been a trip full of culinary surprises. Anyway, just as the hordes were filling up Mindil Market, we headed back and paid a visit to the local backpackers bar, The Vic. We had free meal vouchers, and thankfully it wasn’t the half-hearted slop we got in Cairns; an all you can eat Barbie no less! Very good and best of all, very free! Went back and stopped on the way at a tree full of possums! We’ll be back tomorrow with the camcorder and some nuts.

Saw this on http://www.vox.com/culture/ and after browsing a few entries, I'm hooked.
Thanks!
