I lived in Darwin for 9 years from the age of ten and have been back to visit many times since. I managed to take one or two photos of the place, and I thought I'd share a few with you.

Next morning we enjoyed a continental breakfast and started to worry about our Haka.  We had been told the night before that we 5 Police members were to disembark before the soldiers and we knew that meant we would be given the traditional Maori greeting, which meant we had to reply with …

Next stop for the van Duijn family: Darwin and surrounds. We’ve hired a camper to get around and after my family picks me up from the airport we drive to Jabiru, a wannabe town in eastern Kakadu National Park. Kakadu’s beautiful, and it’s a shame we can’t see much from inside the camper. I …

12/04/06 Arrived into Darwin very bleery eyed at 4.30am to encounter the typical aussie laid back attitude. Our shuttle bus didn't turn up for ages and then when it did he went inside to have a coffee leaving us all outside! When we eventually got to the hostel we were impressed at how clean and …

After Bangkok, we had another good few hours in the air to Darwin, where we again had about two hours in transit. It wasn't even that we could just stay on the plane and sleep, no - we had to get off, take all our stuff with us, wait for the plane to be cleaned then get back on again.   Darw…

Woke up really early but stayed in bed til around 10am when I met H to do some washing as our clothes were absolutely filthy. Had a smoothie and waited for stuff to dry which took til past midday. We then went with K + R to the Art Museum at Fannie Bay which was free. Caught the #4 bus from Cavenag…

We, my travelmate Wilma and I, made plans together to see a lot of Australia. The country is so big that we decided to see only a few parts of it. We started in Hong Kong (stop-over), Saw Darwin, Uluru, Cape york to Cairns, Great barrier reef and drove along the coast to Brisbane.

Spent two weeks up in Darwin northern Australia in 2004. Did a 3 day backpacker tour of Kakadu NP then hired a campervan and explored Litchfield NP, Katherine Gorge, Mataranka Hot Springs then back into Kakadu.

Darwin is the Northern Territory’s multi-cultural capital. Visitors to Darwin enjoy a relaxed, tropical lifestyle, with wonderful sunsets, city street shaded by palms, bamboo, mango trees and masses of flowering tropical shrubs like the fragrant frangipani and the iridescent blooms of the bouga…

Zur gleichen Zeit wie gestern, kurz nach sieben Uhr morgens, wurde ich heute wieder abgeholt - zu einem Tagesausflug in den Litchfield National Park, der sich etwa 200km südlich von Darwin befindet. Auch hier gab es als erstes Termitenburgen zu bestaunen,  diesmal aber insofern interessant, a…

Photo summary of my trip up to Darwin and Katherine in the Northern Territory, Australia.

After driving 6000 km we're finally in Darwin. The city has changed a lot since I've been here 4 years ago. It is so much bigger and much nicer. After our time in Coral Bay we drove inland to the Kirijni Nationalpark. This is a really lovely nationalpark similar to Kakadu Nationalpark. I did a wal…
