9th May to 15th May 2025
Spent a few days with my son and his fiancé in Darwin where they currently live.
This is my third visit to Darwin, a city I like very much however I have never visited in the wet season, all my visits have been in what you might call the shoulder season when the monsoon has ceased but the crocs have not been moved from some of the tourist swimming spots and the night time temperatures are still on the warm side, however the humidity of the wet season has gone.
This trip was visiting family so tourism was not high on the agenda however I did visit a couple of very interesting museums, the Seabreeze Festival and the WWII tunnels built to store oil and protect it from the Japanese bombing.
The tunnels were first on the list, my son hadn’t seen them before.
The Oil Storage Tunnels
Seabreeze Festival
Over the next couple of days we went to the Aviation Museum and the Military Museum as well as other Darwin social activities.
The Military Museum
The Aviation Museum.
The museum had a B52 decommissioned after the Arms Limitation Treaty with Russia, it was massive.
The Mangrove Boardwalk
Similar to the Jervis Bay Mangrove Boardwalk but with the added attraction of crocodiles (we didn’t see any).
On my final night there we visited the local pub where I had a very nice steak on their Steak Night Special.
Sorry, I ate a bit before I thought to take a photo.
