Dinner theme was Thai food, so I loved that (they do have regular food options, too). ...

Considering where we were, this would have been so very remote back in the day. There was nothing around except flatness. There are 4 telegraph stations ...
Darwin

One of the attractions there is to swim in the "cage of death" which is a Perspex box that you get inside of before it is then lowered into the water with the biggest crocodiles.
