Nearing the end of our short stay in Darwin. With its tropical climate, modern high-rise buildings and newly developed waterfront area, it's a very interesting city and a welcome contrast to the last 3 weeks' rural sights. It's peak season and the annual festival is in full swing, so the place is packed full of Australian and international tourists. We spent the last 3 days wandering around the streets, soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the great food (being so near to Asia, lots of lovely sushi and noodle restaurants, yum). This evening we did one of Darwin's "must-do's" and went to the Mindil Beach Sunset Market along with 5,000 other people, to shop around the stalls, grab a fruit slushie and sit on the beach to watch the sun go down. Yet another memorable sunset, a theme of this holiday!
Tomorrow we pack away our sandals and shorts and head south to wintry Sydney.

$160 gets you a "meet and greet" with Chopper in the Cage of Death. No thanks.
