Landing in Darwin it was hard to believe I was in the same country. It was midnight, but still 27 degrees, and steamy with it. Of course more sensible people than I would have looked at a map before getting on the plane. It turns out that Sydney is over 3,000 kms away. I might as well have landed in Indonesia. Day one was a trip to Litchfield National Park, only around 130kms from Darwin. I seeme... Read Full Entry

Yes I knew that Darwin was bombed during WW2, but only recently learned that more bombs were dropped over Darwin than at Pearl Harbour. I dont fancy the fauna of the top end at all.

There's not much to recommend about the fauna here! You would like the weather here though, very hot and very predictable.

Crocs, et al.....

I'm not sure if you've ever been to Darwin, but there sure is plenty to laugh about!

Mankillers, ha ha.
Love your humor. That seems like a lot of crocs in one river. Maybe they should thin the heard. We didn't make it to Darwin on our trip to Australia so glad we got a taste of it following along with you. Happy travels.

It does seem an awful lot of crocs doesn't it! It's a shame you didn't make it up here, it feels quite different to other parts of Australia I've been to. You would also have a new sign to add to your collection, "beware of crocodiles". Unfortunately I was on the bus when we passed that one and couldn't stop for a photo, but that's certainly one I've not seen before!

climate sounds right up your alley...
... But fauna definitely not! Although I did laugh at attempts to make termites interesting. Sounds like a great trip. Lucy

Seriously - there are tour buses that stop to look at the mounds. I couldn't really see what all the fuss was about! Yep, sure is hot. Not too humid, so quite comfortable.

Those big crocs are scary!
What did you think of croc meat? I remember it tasting a bit like fishy chicken :)
