I had that discussion with my wife this morning. I told her to not expect this to be like trips to say Iceland or the south Island of New Zealand. Expect a LOT more travel. | |||

Well there is more to do in Darwin I reckon. A 3.5 hour drive south of Darwin is Katherine. It has the gorge but thats just a lot of rock. An hour drive past Katherine is the Mataranka hot springs. They are nice for a soak if you can handle all the tourists. Litchfield and Kakadu Parks: Really you'll see the same sort of landscape on your hunt without the tourists. Darwin: Crocosaurus Cove DON'T get in the cage of death....it has to break sometime. Crocodylus Park Territory Wildlife Park Museum/Art gallery Jumping croc tour A days fishing? Arafura Blue water charters Other stuff to do. Hope that helps mate. Let us know how you go. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin.

If you have interest in WWII history, contact Garry Gallagher who is the owner of "Bombing of Darwin Tour". I would highly recommend it. www.bombingofdarwin.com.au | |||

The pier in Darwin is an interesting place to eat. When we were there two years ago there was an Aboriginal art show at the nearby expo building and a Peter Garrett concert near the botanical gardens, so stuff does go on. There's a reasonably big museum on the north side, too, you might like, and a walking tour around the CBD of old buildings that survived WWII and Cyclone Tracy. If you have time, Uluru, Kata Tjuta and the MacDonnell Ranges are worth seeing, but they are several days to the south. | |||

My wife and I are in Darwin right now staying at the Hilton downtown. Lots to see and do within walking distance. Leave early in the morning to hunt but have another couple of days here after the hunt. | |||

Thanks all. I am think we may go to Cairns for a few days as well. | |||

The friend I am hunting with lives in Cairns. He says it's a full 2 day drive. Guns and hunting | |||

Or a 3 hour flight | |||

Fly to Cairns. Visit Tjapukai Cultural Park, travel on Skyrail to Kuranda, stay at Port Douglas and spend a day on the reef with Quicksilver cruises. You won’t be disappointed. | |||

I think Katherine Gorge and Edith Falls is spectacular. My wife and I really enjoyed our helicopter flight over the gorge. We also like Mataranka. Is your hunt inland or coastal? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Inland | |||

After hunt doing 2 nights at vibe waterfront, then renting safari landcruiser and doing 5 days wandering. Should be pretty fun White Mountains Arizona | |||

I haven't taken the skyrail because it was very cloudy the day we thought about it. It's not cheap, though, and we found coming back from Mareeba days later that you see much of the view from the road, anyway. | |||
|
| One of Us |
Pretty near impossible to see the rainforest canopy from the road but I agree, it’s a nice drive, especially coming down the range. | |||

Larry: If you are a certified SCUBA diver, I would go diving on the Great Barrier Reef. We did it a trip or two ago; went out on day 1, did some dives, had a nice dinner on the boat, slept, got up, did some more dives, and headed back in. If you are not certified you could always snorkel; the reefs are not that deep anyway. But Cairns itself is not that great; there isn't a beach like Sydney or Perth. You could always fly to Brisbane and take Bakes to dinner. He is a charming chap.  | |||

Yes, the 'beach' at Cairns was just mangrove sprouts in mud when I saw it. There are some nice beaches nearby, though, such as at Yorkeys Knob, but I'm not sure you can swim there for fear of stingers, sharks and, possibly, crocs. Come to Melbourne - cold, but relatively safe. | |||

Being from FL, the beach does not interest me. | |||

And after my latest operation I'm cheap to take to dinner, I don't eat much at all these days  ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

I still remember those ice cream bars you bought on the way to Paul's... Hey, been chatting with Glenda about schedule - let me know when you know yours. | |||

Yeah I spoke to her yesterday. I'll talk to my boss today. ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Me either, I used to live about a mile from a beach but hardly ever went there. | |||
|

Renting a 4wD and visit the highlights of Kakadu, Litchfield Nat Parks and Katherine gorge are good options | |||
|
| One of Us |
You can binge on Paul's iced coffee and Weis Mango bars while looking for something to do. | |||

Got the safari landcruiser. I am an offroader so I wanted the best one they got. The britz scout would be easier but not in same class of vehicle. Plus I can see what the big fuss is with "overlanding" tents. Should be pretty fun
