G’day!
We arrived in Darwin at about 4am and are feeling a bit tired! We have been for a look round and our first thought was “Where is everyone?”. Saturday morning in the centre of town and it was deserted. We are used to having to fight our way down the pavement avoiding people trying to sell us water, kites suits, watches etc etc. and the massed hoards of China and Hong Kong trying to come the other way. And there is nobody here! It is a very pleasant, sleepy little place though.
We are going a trip to Uluru, hopefully departing on Monday. This will take about a week so we will be off line for a while. A full report will be given on our return.
We have just sold our Chinese books and maps at a secondhand bookshop so our bags will now be a bit lighter. After booking our trip we are going to adopt horizontal mode for a while.
