Darwin must be popular
Now just in case you were wondering how popular the Darwin round is, I have just spent most of the morning trying to find accommodation there for 6 blokes over race weekend next June/July.
It seems the place is just about booked solid!!!! Seven months in advance!!!! Any suggestions?? |

Just go to the Pubs and dont sleep for the week!!
The current issue of Ralph has a look at the Northern Watering holes, or you could join the Aust Defence Force and hope for a posting North, all three forces have large ammounts of people in the area!

Try the backpackers, if you can handle a little noise and biff and barge then you'll be right. Plus, the $ you save on accommodation can be used at the wealth of bars and pubs on the same street. There is a fairly new backpackers on Mitchell Street which is decent and clean and with that many blokes you could book a full room of their own with ensuite bathroom so no need to share facilities.
Hope you score something! I was there this year for the first time and it was great! |

You could always join the "Long grassers", we have plenty of them at that time of year.

Try booking thru your local motoring organization (NRMA for you - RACQ is excellent) there are many other types of accomodation available - good resorts within 60 minutes to the track (Batchelor resort - Lake Bennett - Adelaide river) these all have excellent facilities and are an easy drive to the track .

It really depends on what you are looking for and for how many. I know last year the casino had roos available pretty well right up to the weekend.
If you are only looking at the race weekend then I don't suggest staying outside Darwin. How many are you looking looking to accommodate? |

Well three cheers for Anna at Northern Gateway Holidays in Darwin!!!!!!!!!
A 3 bedroom apartment near the city for $265/night. And enough left in the budget for a hired Tarago for 5 days! Now how do you get to the Vic Hotel again? |
