Saville Park Suites Darwin

... it when it's too rainy, under waterfalls, snorkeling or scuba diving. But like I said, they are special. Each camera has it's own housing and they are quite expensive. I think my housing cost as much or more than my camera. but absolutely necessary if you want to do any photos in the water.<br>8) Packing cubes. I love these. You can get them in all sizes and also with an inner lining for putting it ...

... punishment- ouch. Visited another rock art site at Nourlangie which looks out over Arnhemland &#8211; beautiful and just as in the desert I can see why people in the low lying wetlands would be drawn to the high rock formations whether for shelter or ceremonial reasons.<br><br>At my next campsite, there was no ranger at the gate to collect the $10 fee so I thought I would get a freebie but no there I was in my oven/van having stripped off to cool down and opened all the doors ...

... can of tuna is over $4, most coldcuts $15 a pound, a loaf of ****** white bread $4, and a Lean Cuisine meal is $6.15. The prices had me disoriented and all I could manage to buy right then was a pathetic little banana the size of a midget plantain. At least it was only a dollar but it was definitely not Chiquita quality. I kinda felt sorry for it sitting all pitifully on that little display all small and expensive so I did my part and rescued it. Thirst from ...

... for work, not helped by the fact that there is not much brokerage work around here at all and a lot of it is done by the southern offices of the companies. So keep praying something will come up soon that will not only keep me off the streets but also something I am interested in and enjoy.

... 8221; at another friend of Greg&#8217;s who was hosting a BBQ in his apartment in Cullen Bay we managed to leave for the caravan park. I dropped Damo off to kick on at his local in Palmie while Greg was near snoring in the car!<br><br> The Darwin Cup was next day and I didn&#8217;t think Greg would even be able to attend. He managed to get himself ready and motivated by 10am. I dropped him in and intended to joined them for the last 3hours of the race meeting. Julie, Tony ...

... and it was nice to share stories with Trevor and Janette about where we had all been since we last saw each other.<br><br>Two evenings of our stay were spent at the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. The markets start up next to the beach at about 4pm and go on late into the night. The big draw card is to watch the sun set over the water and it seems that half the population of Darwin crams the park area to watch it while sipping wine and eating ...

... soeurs les Kata Tjuta. Ces immenses roches sont vraiment spectaculaires et on comprend pourquoi les aborigenes les venerent et leurs pretent des pouvoir magiques depuis des siecles. Nous avons eu la chance d&#8217;observer un coucher de soleil magnifique pendant lequel la roche brille de toute sa splendeur. Dans la meme region nous sommes alle visiter Kings Canyon dont la vue du sommet etait a couper le souffle. Finalment nous avons fait un ...

... about $4 in Saigon). I not only found it very difficult to find available beds, but also beds --in dorms were about $30 !! (Aussie $). A bit abusing I think.. They take advantage of the hot season in Darwin as people from the cold South move North to find some heat. It's about 25-30 degrees here.<br><br>The city is quiet, quite small and there is not much to it. It's on the sea shore but the presence of many jellyfish make it ...

... stops to shelter from the blistering sun. I was particularly impressed with the waterfront development and the open-air swimming in the harbour. <br><br>At 1pm I returned to the hotel, collected my bag and got a taxi to the airport. The 4 hour flight back to Perth past very quickly as I sat next to a very chatty Kiwi who was ...

... br><br><br>The price of Diesel varies greatly in Aus and is generally more expensive then NZ. We started at AUD$1.08 on the east coast, increasing to $1.59 at some forgotten watering hole south of Katherine, back to $1.29 up north.<br><br><br>With apologies to those who have travelled the outback before. I have to say it looks nothing like it did on all those Singapore flights, gazing down from the jet. What I thought was desert was often horizon to horizon grassland.
