Have a look at this map for Darwin Airport, you will note that it is
ON Bombing road.

Only about 2 ~ 300 metres to the Stuart highway, and then it only
seems to continue for another 300 metres or so over the other side of
the highway.

May be a nice leg stretch after the flight (:-))

The section of Bombing Rd on the airfield is on the RAAF side behind a
locked gate. Darwin Airport is way over the other side of the field. You'll
just need to get past airport security at the terminal, cross the tarmac,
the taxiway, the runway and onto the RAAF side of the airfield, outrun the
RAAF guard-dogs, scale a couple of security fences, and you'll be at the
Stuart Hwy.
The only transport you'll get at the airport is a taxi or a hire car (limo).
Can be a bit of a wait if you're not one of the first out of the terminal.
Some of the hotels might run courtesy buses, probably by prior arrangement.
You'll find the bus timetables and maps at
http://www.ipe.nt.gov.au/whatwedo/bu...bus/index.html Route 5 goes
near the airport and around to the stuart hwy, and past bombing rd
intersection.
I don't think any airports have lockers any more.

Ooops ! So it seems I was wrong.....

Last time I had anything to do with flying into or out of Darwin was
around 1971, and the main entrance was off the Stuart hwy...

Golly gosh don't things change over the years (:-))
