    Try Shady Camp on an afternoon or night on an incoming tide, Even if you are not into fishing just to see the sheer number of Crock's in the one place it makes the place a well worth visit.
    Litchfield is another Must see.
    I lived in Palmerston for 5 years But didn't spend much time in the City, I do remember a restaurant called "Seafood on Cullins" where you paid $20 and you could eat as much seafood as you could and it was great.
    Other than that I spent my spare time fishing and exploring the rest of the Territory when I wasn't working.

    According to my son, who was there for two years in the Army, the best thing about Darwin is the road out! He always was difficult to please, though, and he did meet his wife there...

    Darwin is not for everyone and I suppose the "Build Up" can be a bastard for many as it gets pretty Muggy then.

    I once had a girl friend who spent a little time in Berrimah. You'd think that would put you off, but she couldn't get enough of the place, and probably lives there. As you say, to each their own. Personally, I've never been. But I will.

    Have lived there and visited regularly.
    I like it.
    I have enjoyed the Oil Tunnels,
    Crocadylus Park, Mindil Markets.
    A little ferry ride from Fannie Bay to Mandorah fills in a lazy 2 hours.
    Further than the city, a trip to Jabiru/Kakadu is worth the effort,
