Following Broome, we were off to Darwin (with a minor layover in Kununurra - a tiny little village with a population of 4575 in the middle of nowhere).
Darwin is known for its crocs, and was made "Hollywood famous" with Crocodile Dundee. As we have seen crocs many times before, we really didn't feel the need to see them again. Instead, we did a walking tour of the city and its wharfs (in 44 degree weather nonetheless), and spent the rest of our time relaxing on the deck belonging to our swim up room.
Darwin is a cute little place, frequented mostly by folks in the military. We're glad we finally had the opportunity to experience the city that many of our colleagues speak frequently of.
