Day 8 Darwin. WWII and Cyclone Tracey didn't knock it over but there's evidence they had a good go at it. Not much to see though. Did our own guided tour in the humidity. Nice musuem/art gallery. Two doses of the flu and a neat afternoon thunderstorm rounded off the day

Day 7 Tennant Creek to Darwin. Darwin...still evolving! First traffic light in 5000 kms. 1/3 of the way done. Pretty uneventful trip today. Virtually nothing on the roads until Adelaide River. Termite mounds just keep getting bigger. Don't think there was a single metre of bush along the way that hadn't been burnt in recent times...and that's a lot of bush. Amazing how quickly the landscape changes at each border. Luckily was overcast most of the way here....
