Darwin Holiday


I've just got back from a lazy 4 day holiday in Darwin - went up for a mates wedding. I was expecting a small backwards country town, but I must say it was an excellent place to spend a few days in the middle of winter. Hello warm and sunny days!!! The city was much bigger than I expected, very multicultural and very friendly. We checked out Litchfield National Park - swum in pools known for croc attacks! visited the 'biggest outdoor markets' in the Southern Hemisphere, hunted Cane Toads and spent the rest of the time doing 'wedding' things.
Firstly not only was I impressed with the city but also the thought that went into making the bridal party feel welcome. We were given a 4WD to use free, taken around to do the 'touristy' stuff and spent lots of time getting to know the bridesmaide's before the wedding. I thought this was excellent, as many times before I had been a groomsman and not known the bridesmaide and felt akward/bored througout the evening. Now we are all friends and had three excellent days together - so thats sweet, thanks P and K for your thoughtful planning. Also the ceremony and reception was great - I do like outdoor receptions.
