Well, we finally made it to Darwin yesterday. It's so hot here. Not that anyone else seems to notice. They just go about their business. Without melting. It's weird.
Today as we drove in to the CBD, the streets were lined with people waving flags and sitting in fold-out chairs on the median strip. I must admit that I was slightly surprised at all the fuss the locals had gone to for our arrival....but then I saw some Holden flags amongst the crowd and realised that perhaps it wasn't us that people had come to see. It seems that there is some kind of car race in Brisbane this weekend and the path that we had taken in to the city was virtually identical to the one being taken by the convoy of trucks bringing the V8s and their support crews into the city.
Anyway, by lunchtime Darwin was a noisy, crowded hoon's paradise. And hot. So hot.
We're hoping to check out the beach night market tonight. And perhaps even catch up with Marsh.
Okay, time for a cool drink.
