La faune était assez particulière : des chauves-souris, des cochons (wild pigs) et un paon.<br><br>En fin d&#8217;après-midi, nous sommes arrêtés à une galerie d&#8217;art aborigène et pris la direction du campement. Ce fut le moment le plus « hot » de la journée, car plus on s&#8217;approchait de notre lieu pour le souper/dodo, Michelle notre guide n&#8217;arrêtait pas de dire « This is a joke ?». Nous, on ...

... heat. We bussed it into the centre of town, and thankfully, as Darwin is so delightfully compact, we could walk to our hotel&#8230;also delightfully situated on the Esplanade.<br><br>We were dropped off in Mitchell St, which was absolutely buzzing with activity and all sorts of food spots open, so Andrew walked back there for our takeaway dinner with an endless choice of nationalities. We went Indian ...

... même le sol avec la voie lactée pour plafond et les oiseaux par millier pour réveil matin! ça fait bizard de retouver une ville, des feux rouges, des resto, mais c bon d'avoir un lit à l'hotel avec une bonne douche et de vrais toillettes!! Demain matin il faudra prendre l'avion pour Perth!

... as you are not allowed to take these into W.A this restriction does not apply going in the other direction. Just after the border crossing I stopped briefly at Keep National Park,a small little known park where there ar some good cave paintings, unfortunately I did not have time to visit these but did stop at Cockatoo Lagoon where I saw an enormous monitor lizard basking on the rocks and also saw n interesting stone structure used by the ...

... and a lovely meal from the bistro, we chatted about the area.  The evening was warm and balmy and it was wonderful to be able to sit out without feeling chilled at all.  It really is tropical here. Reminds me of Singapore! Wayne and Brendan both offered advise about WA and kindly said we could call them to ask for more info if required &#8211; people are so kind in NT and WA as well it seems.<br><br>So most people would know that Darwin is the capital of Northern Territory and as mentioned ...

By now all I want is to get away from airports and airplanes. I decide to wait until the flight to get a drink- there always is a complimentary one. Advice- never fly with JetStar.
