Darwin

I'm here in Darwin and probably leaving to Kakadu national park today. We spent the weekend here in Darwin and it's pretty allright city. They have a really nice free museum here with excellent aircon and some cool stuff to look as well. Andy spent the whole 2 hours in museum sleeping on a bench next to 6m crocodile fossil. We also visited some markets where Ash and Mel seemed to get into real shopping frenzy. Jonas had also his ownkind of frenzy when he was touring through the different food stalls.

The night market in Darwin is held atleast every Sunday and I liked it really much. Heaps of people gather there and just have a picnic, enjoy the sunset and watch the performing artists. I heard some really nice didgeridoo music here and tasted meats of crocodile, emu, buffalo and camel from the Roadkill cafe. "You kill it, we grill it".

We used to camp next to war museum and there was also "no camping" signs nearby which we kinda seemed to ignore. We managed to sleep 2 nights without problems but this morning we got a nice wakeup from a local council and were politely asked not to camp in Darwin anymore or we would face a 50aud fine. Well we were going to Kakadu national park anyway...
