Darwin is named after an English Naturalist - Charles Darwin. Darwin supposadly bought a tortoise over from the Glapagos islands, named her Harriet and it is believed she was approximatly 175 years old when she died, can you even imagine living that long?

I think it was Charles Darwin's friend that sailed into Darwin and named the town after him. I don't think Charles Darwin ever came to Darwin.

Need a local to update us.

His ship mate decided to name Darwin after Charles Darwin he sailed with him on a previous journey that did not lead them here. You are right Mary Anne, he did not go on the second voyage which means he did not come to Darwin, but it is interesting to learn about the man the town was named after

I think i will put Kate and Kelly-Anne to the test today and see what they know about their home town

Off today to the bookshop in town (it's a second hand one so I'll post the name up after I've been in case anyone is interested in reading when they visit Darwin) in search of a book about Charles Darwin's ape theory. Should keep me occupied. :)

Good Evening All ;)
It has come to my attention recently just how much clothes (including various under garments) the ladies have to procure for the work you do... Firstly I will state that, I'm amazed at how well presented all the lovely ladies are here in Darwin at the Chill Out Lounge :) ... Albeit, we are a more relaxed atmosphere (classy tropical resort wearup here ...) I see (& hear) just how much reinvesting of hard earned dollars goes into maintaining your "looks"... Rather than always going for the "top shelf" options... There are many alternatives...
Here are just a few ideas... And if anyone can add to this list, please do :))
1. Hunt around your city, there's always op shops or second hand (designer options)... Here in Darwin I would recommend the Vinnies Op Shop in Winnellie, they are famous for grabbing designer outfits.... Also in the Metro Arcade we have Love Thy Label ....
2. Don't be afraid to shop online... Tips for this... Go to a tailer or seamstress & get properly measured (knowing your true size can save you heaps in the long run...
3. Steer clear of online cheap sites... (if it's too good to be true - it usually is a waste of $$$)...
4. There is an AMAZING online site called "buyinvite"... you do have to join (is free to sign up)... but it is a reputable online clearance site for designer labels... example: a Gucci leather dress was on recently from ($3,000) reduced in clearance to $300!!!!!)
I have to live on a beer budget but still enjoy the "trimmings" of a champagne lifestyle
Happy hunting (& saving) girls
