Well here i am in Darwin and as if they have just had a few cyclones hit them before we arrive here. Some of the alligators got out of the park and were out and about on the streets but am pleased to say that i didn't come across any whilst i was out and about in Darwin.

There has been an amazing thunderstorm going on for abou...

Watched plenty of surfers, wanted to get involved but there was nowhere to rent...
