What is the best way to spend $900 sight seeing the Northern Territory top End from Matranka to Darwin? I have my own camping gear.
Answer
your biggest expense would be petrol. You can eat cheaply. Bring one of those small gas stoves that use the gas cans, they are great. You can camp cheaply at Mataranka. Mataranka Homestead next door to the thermal pool or Mataranka Cabins and Camping next door to the more natural Bitter springs thermal pool. In Katherine you can camp cheap at Katherine Gorge and hire a canoe and paddle up the gorge and there are lots of walking trails that are lovely. Kakadu has cheap camping in the National Park campgrounds, toilets and showers, lots of great walks to rock art etc and a trip on the Yellow Waters Billabong is around $50 or less and well worth the money. If you by pass Kakadu you can turn left on the highway and go into Litchfield National Park, again cheap camping with showers and toilets, great walks and swimming. Once in Darwin you can pitch the tent at Hidden Valley Caravan Park or Book in to a Backpackers for $20 a night. There is lots to do and see in Darwin that are free. I will be camping in Kakadu over the easter break, have fun, we will.

Is the boy scout summer camp staff only males?

I was just looking at my university job board and they're hiring people who "love other people and the outdoors" to work at a summer camp for the Boy Scouts of America.
I called the number but they didn't answer, I didn't expect them to since it is a Saturday.
My question is, would they only be hiring guys?
The job description didn't specify.

Hello muggle1234:
Summer camps do hire women for staff. It is a fun way to spend summer, however you will need to know that you will be camping six days a week with one day off. Your accommodations may be in a permanent building, or a tent. Most likely you won't have air conditioning. You will have access to a shower and possibly a restroom with running water, HOWEVER some camps are still "improved primitive" where the restroom may be a vault toilet with no running water.
You will also need to know that you may be only one of a few women in a camp of 200+ boys 10 to 18 and 30 or so men 19 to 100. If you go, you will have fun and it will be a pleasant experience you will remember.
Keep on Scoutin'
