capital of top end


Stayed with the McCarthys in Darwin family and friendship connections we felt we were at home. The jetstar flight usually arrives at 1.55am or 2.30 on the 16th June!!! Now I know why it is the cheapest air ticket to Darwin
Did lots of tourist things – Crocosaurus, fishing charter, tour of the wharf and coast, saw the sunset in Fannie Bay at the sailing club, feeding fish, art gallery and museum, concert, bus trip home alcohol fuelled and entertaining and our last meal was a NT special crocodile and barramundi.
People of the long grass
Pubs are busy early there is no such time as beer o’clock because it is all the time
Buses are cheap and free if you are a student pensioner or pre school
V8 supercar weekend at Hidden Valley Raceway– watched the concert ‘Bliss and Eso’ I didn’t realise that Chris Liley of Angry Boys had done such a good job of taking off rapping and hip hop artists. I thought he was a little extreme in the take off- not so.
At the art gallery the best or year 12 art is put on display called ‘exit art’
Watched a movie (a bit cheesey) ‘big mike’ that said to me amazing things can happen if you open up your life to include others. I am not sure if amazing things will happen to  Jane Michael Will Jessica and Millie but they definitely opened up their family to us-thank you all
