Northern Territory- Pine Creek
Pine Creek, is basically the bottom corner of “The Triangle” (an hour north of Katherine and about 2 hours south of Darwin), and is a historic mining town. It has housed and currently houses migrant mining populations for the last 100+ years as world markets for Gold and other precious metals rise and fall. The town itself is worth a gas stop at least and even a night or two to explore the area and look into some of the historical sights. I must say to me the funniest bit, as well as most intriguing in this dry country- is the “Water Garden” that is right in the middle of town. Standing at the sign denoting the Garden’s boundry- the area looks still, dry, and barren- at closer inspection- there is actually a series of lagoons and wildlife hidden away in plain sight.

Blessed with a stunning country side, they have managed a very good back-to-basics wildlife and river retreat while adding the key ingredients of modern amenities like a restaurant/bar, cook your own facilities, a pool, spa, and a variety of sleeping accommodation to fit any budget. Half way between Darwin and Jabiru, Mary River YHA is about 1 km before you reach the Bark Hut.

Northern Territory- Jabiru
A milestone corner of The Triangle, Jabiru is little more than a company town designed to support the local Uranium mining operation. It is also considered the entrance to Kakadu Park. The township is little more than a jumping off point for package tours and its amenities are basically limited to a Caravan Parks, a hotel, a travel agent, Council Office, Grocery Store, Café and Gas Station.

Popular Hostels in Sydney
Sydney, being Australia’s largest city and point of entry for more than 85% of international travelers, is full of hostels. Prices for a backpacker hostel Sydney side usually run around $20 a person for shared accommodation. Although there are a number of places to lay your head, a few giants tend to dominate the backpacker and flashpacker market. They tend to be close into the city, or at least, the action, are relatively clean, offer a bar or other services and most importantly, can host large numbers of travelers at any time.
