Our First Impressions of Darwin (We Finally Reached Australia's Top End)

After 4 weeks of driving through the middle of Australia, we've finally reached the Top End and in this week's video, we share our first impressions as we explore the Northern Territory's capital city, Darwin. We start with our first drive into town and a wander through the Darwin Waterfront Precinct for drinks, then head into Darwin CBD to explore Austin Lane and all the local street art. In the evening we head to the famous markets at Mindil Beach for food stalls, exploring, a massage we haven't had since Thailand, and sunset from the beach. The next day we finally get Ron's cracked windscreen replaced after last week's crack on the way to Litchfield, then finish it all off with the perfect ending at Darwin Deckchair Cinema under the stars.
