OZ - Darwin

Darwin is tooty. I had no idea it had only 100,000 people in it. I had every intention of trying to find a job, but when I saw it only had 2 main roads I decided to do my stuff and get out of there.

The first day I had a walk round town. Nice enough, but not much to do.

I arrived on a great day as the big tourist thing in Darwin is the Thursday nite market at the beach. I headed down early to catch the sunset then hung out for a bit at the market. Was a bit disappointed that there wasnt any aboriginal stuff to buy. But the aboriginal guys were good entertainment. I was listening to some dude playing the digee-doo and they were all jiggin away. They were pretty pissed tho!

The next day I headed to an out of town shopping centre in the hope of finding some good aboriginal craft and art shops. Nothing! So I posted a 7kg box home with absolutely no Oz souveniers!

Apart from my side trips to Kakadu and Litchfield there wasnt much reason to hang about so I was offski.
