Sherwood vs Sherwood - Robin Da Hood
- Jul 14, 2011
Robin Da Hood is on a quest to bring a fair deal to all that has taken him from Sherwood in Nottingham to Sherwood in Brisbane.
Richard Branson called upon Robin Da Hood and Virgin Mobile Australia's mobile plans to get medieval on the asses of unfairness so he got on his bike and headed straight down under.
You can explore Sherwood, Australia on Robin Da Hood's website, and find out more about our hero on the way.
Robin Da Hood said: "Acquaint yourself with with my base of operations and learn more about this fair town and its people by solving the riddles posed."
But how does Sherwood in Brisbane compare to Robin Da Hood's home of Sherwood in Nottinghamshire? Well, let's find out from the fount of all knowledge (or Wikipedia as some call it).
Well. Sherwood in Brisbane "is home to the Sherwood Arboretum, a large botanical garden and lake fronting the river which was planned and landscaped in the 1920s". It has a population of 4,763, according to a 2006 Census and the fantastically named Major William Jenyns Boyd was the local school's first headteacher.
Sherwood, Nottinghamshire on the other hand has a police station that won an award from Nottingham In Bloom for the hanging basket display outside the building last year. Meanwhile, Graham Russell, guitarist and vocalist of Air Supply, is a famous local resident.
There you have it. Two places that have been blessed with the presence of Robin Da Hood, yet worlds apart. Follow Robin Da Hood's journey for a fair go for all at Virgin Mobile Australia.
