Is Darwin Worth Going to for a Weekend?
I've got frequent flier miles to burn before I leave Australia for
good and Darwin is about the only place I have not scene that I can use these Qantas miles on. Worth going to? What are the sites? Food? Good lodging. Flying from Sydney on a Friday and heading back on a Monday. In October. |

Darwin is for the most part (others will/may take exception this is the usement!) a great location for outdoors of a tropical nature. The surrounding area has a rugged outback. Try looking at Kakadu National Park for starters. Oh yes famous for crocodiles, Swimming has risk in the NT -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacationswww.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell Just have two days there and want to relax, eat well, a little sight see -- no time to get out into the outback. So is it worth it? |

If it were me, I might go, but if I wanted food and wine, I would think Melbourne and head to the Yarra Valley or go to Hobart- great wines good seafood and except for the next month or so beautiful weather. -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell |

Just have two days there and want to relax, eat well, a little sight
see -- no time to get out into the outback. So is it worth it? Still yes in my opinion. There is easily two days entertainment to be had in Darwin. If you are there on the right days, check out the Mindil Markets. http://www.mindil.com.au/ Kerry |

And I don't have the time and FF miles for Broome. (And I agree on Hobart, just a FYI. I've ben down under for two years, living in Sydney, and surprisingly Hobart is my favorite town. (after Uluru, lol.) |
