Darwin & Surrounds
Darwin & Surrounds We enjoyed Darwin, love that they have a sea water pool area in the middle of the city. Lots of great restaurants and bars all around it. We did see some people swimming in the sea but I am paranoid about the crocodiles especially after coming from Kakadu. It’s the middle of […]
