Darwin, Australia Now why would anybody live here!



Hot, That's not the word for this place. Just when you think Darwin's weather is at its most sweltering - a dip in the sea ought to be just what the Doctor ordered, right. Wrong, fatally wrong. Nature has played a very unkind little trick on this part of the Timor Sea. Throngs of sinister sea wasps, otherwise known a box jellyfish. They can kill or at least cause a most unpleasent shock.
This city also had it problems on Christmas eve 1974 Cyclone Tracy Devastates Darwin, killing 50 people, 35,000 people had to be evacuated in Australia's biggest airlift. The City is totally rebuilt.
This Aboriginal Tribe did a little performance for us.
