Darwin, Northern Territory

G'day sports fans, now in Darwin and it is really, really hot. Houston has got nothing on Darwin, as a matter of fact, Houston folks are just a bunch of commie pinko bedwetters compared to the folks in Darwin. Darwin is also a city that is rich in history from WWII. Lots of monuments and tours of the underground oil storage facilities. It's a nice place to visit but wouldn't want to visit it in the summer again, after about 11:00 AM it's just too hot to go wandering around outside. I'm planning to take in a crocodile feeding exhibition in the next couple of days, already got 2 geocaches, but plan to spend the hot afternoons in pursuit of cooler activities. Did I mention how good the beer is down here. Cheers

Hi Johneee!
It is about time you post from a city with such a great name! I like the "Bombing of Darwin" sign - beer has been known to do that to me.

Yeah, the Cowboys prevailed after Jerry Jones bought a couple of zebra calls.

Dar (Darwin) from Wisconsin
where 4-8 inches of the white stuff are heading as we speak

John, using Google Earth to view your travels. You can't get much farther north than Darwin. No wonder it is hot. I will have to have a cool one just to think about it. The snow helps too. About 5 inches so far, and it is howling out there. No Geocaching today.

Hey John,

Looks like you're having a good time!
Those look like some fun spiders. NZ is awesome, no snakes here though and haven't seen any frogs yet. Just beatiful beaches and green paddocks. Time's running out on our internet card. Talk to you later.
Sure beats winter eh.
