Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory

My hostel, as well as being loud, has a truly awful wifi connection.

I decided around lunch time to go out again and try to find somewhere with a more reliable connection.

On my way I found an art gallery showing lots of aboriginal art. Due to its location there are many galleries and shops selling this artwork. The gallery was impressive but how ot was laid out left something to be desired. Everything also had a price tag and that was a little off putting. I get its different but nothing was less than $400.

I took a stop for lunch in one of the parks. I took some bread from breakfast and had that for lunch. Nothing like free food to make a great lunch. And I realised that I aud chosen a spot opposite the supreme court. And next to that, is the library.

Now if there is one thing I love, it is a library. Quiet, clean, full of books and right now free wifi. So I popped in. What I did not expect was having to go through security. The library is one half of the building, the other is the territory's court beneath the supreme court. That was a little unnerving but quick.

The library is split. Downstairs is the standard books part, but the main floor is a sort of museum. It details Darwin through the years and the challenges the city over came to be here now. It was a very interesting little exhibition.

After looking round, I found a quiet spot to open my ipad for the first time in a month and sort some stuff out. I booked my transport and accommodations for both Canberra and the blue mountains as well as confirming my placement for after. I updated my book lists and budget. Books are under prediction, and budget is over. I'm going to need to get a job, it is very disappointing.

I spent the rest of the evening in the hostel reading and writing my journal. I the finish this bali book if it kills me. The party began again downstairs and I had a great time raving in my room while alone after showering, highly recommend.

This morning I popped into a charity shop and found a small hand towel size quick dry towel like my big blue one. So now I have two cause I wasnt gonna walk past and not buy that. I also saw a hack on Tiktok about how to dry your soap and shampoo bars while travelling, and it works. I'm so happy I can finally live my eco life and let them dry!Read more
