Darwin
17/4/07 - 19/4/07
We left the epic Kakadu National Park and headed for Darwin, the hub to northern Australia. The northern Territory has a population of 200,000, of which about 1/2 live in Darwin. Needless to say, this was the first city we had seen in a long time.
We spent the rest of the day doing all the sights around Darwin. Interestingly, Darwin was actually attacked by Japan in WWII.
(We stopped to see this baby wallaby on the way)
Darwin is probably the hottest place in the world. The high during the day is usually 30+, and the humidity around 90%. So that makes it feel like 40+. Even at 10:00pm at night, chilling on a patio, I would be sweating my brains out. But its all part of the experience.
(The sun... The nuisance of my existence. But it does look good when it sets)
That night we had our final dinner and night out at the club. This was the last night of the tour. For some people, we had been together for 25 days, the rest of the crew 11 days. It was pretty sad. So we all partied with no regrets!
(Some of the crew enjoying the last dinner together!)
The next day I hat to catch a 1:40am flight out of Darwin, heading to Brisbane to enjoy the Gold Coast again.
