MUST SEE PLACES IN DARWIN!!

There is nothing like good conversation in familiar surroundings and I am sure there would have been many secrets shared around the tables and many stories exaggerated, like a fishing story.
I wonder if there was some stories that came from the Chill Out Lounge perhaps we will never know.
 
Here in Darwin Austin Lane, where the Langtrees VIP Chillout Lounge is located, the town is being painted. No not red.

There are artworks filled with colour, history and they are absolutely amazing.

Such a wonderful place we live with some amazingly talented artists.
Here is a few pictures to wet your appetite.

Some are works in progress but are still awe inspiring.

Lucky me!! I was spoilt this weekend by a lovely gentlemen friend in Darwin who showed me some of the sights in Darwin.. Enjoyed a delicious Chicken Ceasar Salad for lunch at Berry Springs Tavern and spent some quality time at the nature park.. really looking forward to my next road trip.. possibly out to Litchfield .. :kiss:

The Northern Territory is definitely different to the rest of Australia.
Not just because it's always warm either. Things are a lot more relaxed.
Darwin city and suburbs are more like a big country town than the usual Aussie metropolis.
Things said on the radio here would have many a public outrage in other states and then there is our beloved NT News.
Our front pages are definitely eye catching to say the least!
So I thought I would share a few of our NT News Front Page Headliners.
Let me know which ones are your favourite.
Or even do a search and contribute some too.
Happy Friday everyone :)

I'm sure town will be busy tonight and tomorrow with all of the supporters out in force.
Team won? Come celebrate at Langtrees!
Team lost? Langtrees will be a great place to comfort you.

Im hoping collingwood take it home.

As a Mellbournian I am hoping Storm win tomorrow!

It is totally true. They come out in droves. Just wait for the next few weeks and it will be in full swing :wtf: But loving the rain. Not the humidity.
 
Full moon thunder, ribbons of blue... ice on the window, ice in my heart... everytime we start...
