The heat is on!
Made it to Darwin! A whole new State and time zone (now 8 and a half hours ahead of UK). Flew here yesterday on the rather bizarre flight path of Cairns - Brisbane - Darwin. Yes only in Oz do you fly 2 hours south east before changing planes and then travelling 4 hours north west to get to your destination.
Today explored the city and went to the amazing Mindil beach sunset market where there are over 200 food stalls, my favourite of which was obviously the Roadkill Cafe, where I was spoilt for choice between camel, buffalow, possum, emu, wallaby, kangaroo and crocodile, or even the all species special! Saw my first west coast sunset too. Weather here is HOT and today reached 33c, praise the lord for air conditioning is all I can say!
