After never going there once, I have now been to Darwin twice in six weeks - we had three days up there this week for work. It is still very hot, very rainy and strangely unoccupied ... shops and restaurants closed and not many people about. Apparently the population doubles when the dry starts, which I can believe.
I spent a lot of time around the airport looking at various government facilities, and managed to get to the wave pool / waterfront lagoon as well. So lovely, floating about in warm ocean water, watching a huge storm build up.
In the finest traditions of crappy out-the-airplane-window photography here is Canberra as we were taking off - work is the red dot and home is the green dot :) It was actually a lovely long swoop around the city where you could see all sorts of things ... but perhaps not my finest photo ever.
We went via Adelaide on the way there and here is a slightly better picture of Adelaide's CBD. Not much going on (which is Adelaide in a nutshell) but at least this one is in focus.
We didn't fly over the Darwin CBD (such as it is) so here is some landscape instead. Very typical! So much water. There would be crocodiles in that.
