| 1224750 | 2011-08-21 01:53:00 | I spent the night in Darwin in March 1973 on the way home. We did not see much of Darwin. We spent time drinking beer and looking at girls. You may get better advice than what I can give by looking here (www.lonelyplanet.com). |

| 1224751 | 2011-08-21 02:21:00 | I will be travelling with SWMBO so I will not be allowed to go drinking beer and looking at the girls, even though it does sound a good way to spend three days. Thanks for the link, Bob. I shall peruse that. |

| 1224754 | 2011-08-21 05:21:00 | Leaving is probably the very best Darwin experience you could try, any destination will do. (You were struck off the drinking option weren't you?) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1224755 | 2011-08-21 06:01:00 | Last time I visited Darwin, we landed a stretched DC8 in the middle of a tropical storm. We aquaplaned at the very edge of the runway, took out 3 or 4 runway lights, and the port wheels gouged a hefty furrow in the Darwin turf. Captain said "F**k", First Officer said "canal", the hitchhiker (me) said "s**t" and all said more in the same vein. Why don't you go inspect the bars and local tarts. Send SWMBO to see if they've repaired the lights and filled in the furrows at the airport yet. Fixed. :D |

| 1224756 | 2011-08-21 06:42:00 | What is there to do in Darwin? Reinforce a dislike for Aussies. Make jokes about underarm bowlers. Practice saying words like "strewth" and "blimey" with the locals. Think of some place with fewer Aussies for your next trip. Make jokes about Shane Warne and fidelity. Teach them how to use Mykrosoft Wendows on a Leptop. |
