Stayed 6 nights on a private property just south of Darwin ($15 pn). Unpowered but it had a portable toilet and cold shower, although we used our own shower in our pop up tent.
Checked out the Military Museum, Museum and Art Gallery, the WW2 Oil Tunnels and RFDS Museum to name a few. Very interesting WW2 bombing history here. Incredible to think the Darwin bombing was almost the size of Pearl Harbour, but the Govt of the day underplayed it's significance so as not to panic the Australian public.
We visited quite a few markets whilst here, but our favourite was the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets on Sunday night. There was every food imaginable at the markets and we sampled quite a few. I even had a deep fried Mars Bar and ice cream for dessert! Settled in (with a few hundred others) to watch the sunset over the ocean whilst we ate our seafood Laksa.
