Darwin Festival

 

Another great night in Darwin.

The Darwin Festival is in full swing here.

Tonight I got to go along to my first show - Fear of  Brown Planet, a funny and surprisingly political show. If you have seen any of their youtube clips - belly laughs, along with the occasional laugh suppressed behind the hand ensued.

My next show I am off to is Trevor Ashley as Dame Shirley Bassey in Diamonds are for Trevor on the 24th Aug. Having seen Trevor in Hair Spray in Sydney  as Edna Turnblad- I know this will be a fabilous show.

I am also trying to get some tickets to the renowned cabaret show 'La Soirée' .

Adelaide River Jumping Crocs – Darwin, NT

I am now back capturing some of my more memorable trips around the NT over the past few months. Adelaide River Jumping Crocs would have to be right up there. Located about an hour from the Darwin CBD right on the Arhem Highway where it meets the Adelaide River.

I was lucky enough to venture out on the Adelaide River Queen ( I kid you not).Image

For 25 bucks for an hour of watching these prehistoric beasts jump their body length out of the water to snatch a pork shop – I could not rate it highly enough.

The eerie sight of the crocodiles (or crocs if you are a true Territorian) suddenly appearing out of nowhere from the just below the surface of the muddy brown river water still freaks me out.
