Darwin

I love Darwin and the NT for its numberplates – because the entire population of the territory is around 200 thousand people compared to 4 million plus in other places and the territory like all states has its own numberplates it makes it really easy and cheap to get your own personalised numberplates. Taxi’s here in Darwin have numberplates like Taxi 1, Taxi 8 etc, I saw a tour bus called the tour tub which had the numberplate 2r tub and my favourite so far was a school bus with the numberplate Brat Pak, I’m hoping I can get a new camera soon so that I can take pictures of some of these numberplates.

First day in Darwin despite hardly having had any sleep I had lots of energy because of the heat. I went around the city and foud almost all of the things I needed and in a fairly short time. It is a place which is big enough to have the things you would need or want, but small enough that you can find them all fairly quickly. I spent the late afternoon on the beach until sunset and saw one of those picture postcard moments and the sun went down and turned the sky orange and then red. I sat there thinking I live here, how great is this.
