Last night in Australia

Darwin, NT, Australia

Tonight marks our last night in Australia (sadly). We have had an incredible time in this amazing country, and will be updating the blog soon with pics and tales. Tomorrow we fly to Bali to sample our next country: Indonesia.

We returned to Darwin early, and spent the afternoon walking around town and the harbour. The harbour was a bit of an eyesore, but I blame it on the fact that it’s mostly all under construction right now, and the views were blurred by smoke from the nearby bush fires. But sunset from the boat club’s restaurant on the northern side of town was spectacular (food was very good value too!).

It was a sad night for us, since it was our farewell to Australia. We drowned our sorrows in some beer at the Duck’s Nuts, and then started looking forward to our next adventure…

Camel burger anyone?Always interesting things on the menu in Darwin. Regrettably, we didn't try the camel burger.

Darwin HarbourDarwin (thankfully) is reconstructing some of their less than spectacular water front real estate. The shore will be home to a new convention centre and development (next year).

Darwin HarbourDarwin is the largest city in the Northern Territory and is nestled on a giant harbour teaming with life. The city was horribly bombed during WWII by the same squadron that bombed Pearl Harbout in the US, so most of the buildings and structures are relatively new. Here's a scene from the wharf we strolled along.

Darwin Urban ArtNot be outdone by some of it's larger rival cities in the rest of Oz, Darwin also sports some impressive urban art works.
