Peninsular Apartments Darwin

... that banana is no worries either, mate, since a 15 pack of Coke products to wash it down will only set you back $15.47.

McDonald's is a pretty good place to determine the cost of living somewhere believe it or not and generally a combo meal will indicate prices in that city relative to the US. An Egg McMuffin meal deal was something like $8 so that gives you an idea of the inflated prices here. I think it was only an extra dollar though that buys the ...

... a 1 km walk past several fascinating Aboriginal rock art sites. We then climbed to the top of the rocky look-out to have 360 degree views over Nadab Flood Plains.



Through Kakadu National Park, we headed towards Darwin stopping at Humpty Doo Pub for a break and then Darwin's Fisherman's Wharf for a lunch of fish and chips. While in Darwin we checked out the city center and most of the tourist spots along with Mindil Beach ...

... to be of any help , there was i think he said 180 planes on the first raid against 12 planes of the Australians so they were soon shot down or destroyed on the ground this air raid lasted over an hr and then they came back wit about 80 planes at midday to finish off the town and its surrounding defenses, these air raids continued for another 12 months.
We then moved onto one of the idiots favorite past times Bullsh*t we were in the head of it here they call it ...

... around whilst people throw in bread. We saw mullet, catfish, milkfish, bream and barramundi. It is one of the top attractions in Darwin believe it or not.

Then we went and had a look around the Parliament building, which is relatively new and very impressive.  Finally we went and had a look around the Australian Pearling Exhibition which was extremely interesting and focussed on the methods used in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s to collect pearls and then also ...

... by trees so it felt much cooler, a quick dip and I decided to head back up to the bus. Really realized how not in shape I was climbing back up those stairs. All were back and we headed back to Darwin.

A quick drive around the town, we stopped near a beach for photo opportunity of Darwin skyline. Even that is better than Winnipegs. Stopped at the bottle-o (our LC's) which they have drive through. Drive your car in, don't even have to get out as the ...

... jour par personne! A Darwin meme, nous nous sommes promene dans les rues pietonnes, tente de se pecher un souper (en vain), et visiter un marche aux saveurs asiatiques ou nous avons mange des brochettes de crocodile( infect!).



Le Grand depart et les adieux…non, non les aurevoirs!

Notre voyage en Asie approchait a grands pas. Apres avoir confie notre super bolide a un mate (terme australien pour ami) de Shane, nous ...

... June 2009 Another day to see some museum stuff for the girls today. The Indo-Pacific Marine Exhibition was a bit exy for what we got. One large (~7m x ~4m) sea water marine eco-system and a number of other small tanks. The guy who owns it is very passionate about the sea and he could answer any question posed. His focus was very much on the micro organisms in the eco-system and provided magnifying screens so we ...

... problem - at a steep $360 he guaranteed that that was all that was needed, and we would be on our way again…the problem was that any time he drove the car, the mysterious fault didn’t occur and so we couldn’t be sure that the problem was what he thought it was! The next mechanic that we went to also took the car for a spin and again the problem didn’t happen….despite this we trusted that what we had described to our friendly mechanic would be ...

... jäänuks ka võimalus ajagraafiku liigutamiseks. See otsus kujunes lõpuks kõige õigemaks, sest iga motell, kuhu öömaja sooviga koputasime, võttis meid päris toredate hindadega vastu (vagunelamus keskmiselt 135 AUD kolme inimese peale). Vedas ilmselt eelkõige seetõttu, et praegu pole turismi kõrghooaeg, seda oli näha ka motellide vähesest asustusest. Küll aga oleks soovitav tuba kinni panna kas telefoni teel või siis kohale jõuda enne kl 17, sest mõne koha retseptsioon oli seks ...
