I can see why so many people come to Darwin, fall in love with the Territory, then leave a week or two later. With so much natural beauty up here, it is inevitable that people will have great experiences.
Sam and I have done a few touristy things so far, bascially just checking out a few places, before we go back and look over the course of the year.
Sam went to Crocosaurus Cove, where you can dive with a croc, who apparently, even when the cable snaps on the cage, still doesn't move. Plenty of crocs there tho...
Since I have been here Sam and I have checked out Litchfield National Park, in particular Wangi Falls, Florence Falls and the magnetic termite mounds. They were very very cool and we will head back there. A lot.
We went for a drive down to the Adelaide River jumping croc cruises to check where it is, prices etc. We will do it another time when someone comes up. There is a nice visitor centre 2-3kms back from the river worth checking out.
I have had a look at the Charles Darwin national park, which is basically a picnic ground, its ok. Good for a BBQ.
I think that a lot of Darwin's natural beauty is centred around its coast line. I love going to the beach and looking at that lovely water. The always warm water, so inviting. Unfortunately, if there is a shark around, its the safest you will be. The box jellys and the Crocs are well known in the harbour and there is no bloody way im going in there. Luckily, there is Lake Alexander, at East Point. Murky and Salty, but croc and shark and jelly free.
Now we are NT residents we get free entry into Kakadu, so we will head there soon.
On Sunday 30th October, we are heading to Berry Springs Mango festival. Yep, a mango festival :)
