We *rrived in D*rwin *t 4.30*m Sund*y, with nothing to do but w*nder the streets. Fortun*tely the hotel (Holid*y Inn) s*id they could get our room re*dy for 9*m, so *fter * he*rty bre*kf*st in the poolside rest*ur*nt, we retired to the sun loungers for * lie down. We were woken *t 8.50 by the receptionist with our key, *nd looked up to see th*t the rest*ur*nt h*d filled up, *nd everyone w*s looking our w*y. Evidently we'd been providing the b*ckground music for everyone's bre*kf*st. After sle...

An early start this morning, and after some textual advice from a former Darwinian resident, we headed off to Parap Market for breakfast. This was fantastic, packed with people and amazing food stalls (the place smelled amazing…a mix of sweet tropical fruit and fresh Asian food). Lots of colour and movement…it all just seems brighter in the heat. We queued up at the crepe stand for our breakfast (YUM) and were mildly miffed when we were immediately picked as 'not from around here'...

It seemed rude to ignore the crazy coincidence of running into Jarrod, so we caught up for coffee with him in town, where he told us all about adjusting to the climate and lifestyle up north.
We then took ourselves off the museum, to learn a bit about it for ourselves. It's a very well put together museum with lots of Aboriginal art, wildlife exhibitions and a big exhibit devoted to Cyclone Tracy. This was pretty eye-opening, and included a terrifying recording from the night and some...
Its 37 degrees !! (arrived at 1am ... it was 27 degrees ) Will update soon, having a wander around today, the only thing I know about darwin at the moment is that there is a starcity casino and a deckchair cinema that inspired Baz Luhrmann last year .. ! oh and that its only small and super hot. Got an amazing view from our room ... = )

Hey, Its been a long couple of days, drags the day out when its so hot !! All the travelling about took its toll the other day and I managed to loose my phone - the one with an english contract. Bit of a stupid thing for me to do, managed to cancel it though so at least if someone finds it they wont rack us up a giant bill !! Im mainly gutted about the photos on it though, had loads of Isabelle =( Other than that had a good couple of days. Spent the first day retracking our steps to try and f...

Nach einem gemütlichen Sonntag am Strand, im Cafe und auf dem Balkon, mussten wir am Montag früh von Port Douglas Abschied nehmen. Da wir vom internationalen Terminal in Cairns abflogen, wurde uns geraten, den 8:00 Uhr Transferbus für unseren 12:45 Uhr Flug zu nehmen. Natürlich war dann am Flughafen gar nicht so viel los und wir hatten noch viel zu viel Zeit. Der Flug nach Darwin bot zum Teil grandiose Aussichten auf das Outback - Buschland so weit das Auge reicht, durchzogen mit Flüssen und ...

... there mate. Too many of them things will give you the spritzes." That's ok...so far so good. Besides, didn't we learn today that eating termite mounds cures all that anyway?
I love Australia. This place is amazing.
Tomorrow I head to Alice Springs via a 24 hour journey on a train called the Ghan. I will put some pics of the journey on here as soon as I can when I get to Alice Springs right there in the heart of Australia.
We got up nice and early this morning to beat the heat. We drove out to Jabiru to have a look around the town. It turned out to be much bigger than we expected – a real little community! We then drove further out to the Ubirr Art Site to look at some Aboriginal Rock Art. This was quite interesting, but it was already getting hot (only ...

On the Thursday night we went to Mindal Markets again, and Mark put his hand up to help this guy with his dog do his show, Mark was really funny and played up to him great and he even got $5 bucks for the effort!
The last few days in Darwin was spent catching a few loose ends, James managed to take the kids to the Crococdillas Cove and they had a great afternoon feeding the crocs ect.
We are heading into Kakadu next.
... food imaginable from the stalls. As the sun began to set more and more people flooded to the beach to watch the sunset. Mindil Beach is famed for glorious sunsets here as the beach faces west. It felt like half of Darwin was there with their tables, chairs, food from the market, sparkling white, wine and beer! Anyway we took our sunset pictures but there was not enough cloud to provide the rays that had accompanied the sunset at Town of 1770 so you didn't get the wonderful colours in ...

This afternoon we headed into the Mindle Beach Markets, which are world famous markets full of every food from every country you could imagine. There was an awesome didgeradoo player with a drummer who were amazing, crafts for sale and all other sorts of crazy and interesting people. Before we got to the markets we came across an interesting man in a painted commodore with army figures and little ...
... gerda gross), Souveniers kaufen, die restlichen Postkarten schreiben und den beruehmten Mindil Beach Sunsetmarket besuchen, der immer Donnerstags und Sonntags stattfindet. Ich muss sagen mein Bild ueber Darwin hat sich schlagartig geandert. So lahm und langweilig ist die Stadt gar nicht. Obwohl ich auf der Stadtrundfahrt wohl der juengste (durchschnittsalter 60) war, wars doch interessant. Und der Sunnenuntergang an Mindlibeach war einfach nur traumhaft. Als es dann ...

Again, we are camping out with our new found friends and here we got to meet even more; Danielle, Greg, Maegan & Max are happily committed to making friends everywhere they go and we had the easy job of meeting more like minded families through them here. Nat & Jason, with their kids Ava, Kobe & Jed, and Nicole & John, with their guys Ethan, Ebony & Jacob. Between all of us & Jillian, Craig, Lucy & Sophie, it was a party ...
