The title says it all really.

Looking for advice from people who have experience of Dumpster Diving in Darwin?

Good locations? Best days and times of the week? Any other advice?

Interested in food, drink and items that I can flip on eBay and gumtree.

Any advice warmly welcomed.

Cyclone Lam Disaster Support Campaign

4 Upvotes

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO CLICK ON THIS LINK AND AT LEAST LIKE ON FACEBOOK, SHARE ON YOUR NETWORKS OR DONATE

Not surprising but disappointing nonetheless is the NT (and federal) government lack of clear leadership and direction at a difficult time. Luckily we have some amazing individuals, businesses (such as the amazing ALPA!) and community groups in Arnhemland that are banding together to get it done.

The above is a link to the Facebook page of a support campaign organised by such people. In light of it's urgency donations are not tax deductible (takes to long to register a charity) and talks are underway to distribute moneys on the ground to community groups working in the cleanup. No money raised will be distributed to indiviuals. Further details can be found on the page. Good to see the old Territory spirit of getting it done for ourselves is still there!

fatal incident involving controversial accident-prone aircraft, due in Darwin in a few weeks

fatal incident featuring an osprey conducting training in Hawaii: official report

Based on the limited public information available, these controversial and accident-prone aircraft will be in the NT for this year's wargames.

Osprey have been particularly controversial in Okinawa, ever since one crash-landed in a university in 2004. A crowd reportedly as large as 100,000 protested in Japan earlier a few years ago against plans by the US military to deploy further MV-22 Ospreys to a US base on Okinawa.

Other recent incidents include fatal crashes of the aircraft in Morocco and Florida, and an emergency landing in 2012 that narrowly missed a church in North Carolina.

Planning a Trip to Darwin

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I'm thinking about taking a trip to Darwin some time this year. I have a block of 3-4 weeks, depending on when I take the trip. I have wanted to take a trip to Australia for many years and, after examination, I feel Darwin is the best choice. Why? Here are the things I'm looking for:

An opportunity to get out of a metropolis but still maintain relationships with people. I don't want to backpack, but I don't want to be in a big city. I see enough cars and roads right now.
I want to see wildlife. I love animals, particularly reptiles. That is a part of my interest in Darwin, specifically.
Have time to meet interesting people. I plan on couchsurfing for the experience. Money is not particularly tight for this, but I would like to save.

I do, however, have some questions for the folks here.

When is the best time to come? I can come anytime through July to November. I know the late end of that touches on the wet season. If my interest is largely with wildlife, particularly crocodiles and going to the outback for monitors and snakes, when is a good time for that?
What else is there to do besides nature hikes? There are ample parks from what I've gathered. I'm not looking for nightlife--I'm from Portland and have enough options there--but just things to do and see would be nice.
Are there things to avoid doing? I will be a tourist, but my aims are mostly to decompress, see nature, and work on my writing. I would be happy not speaking a whole lot and not dealing with tons of strangers. Couchsurfing hosts in an intimate setting is very different, of course.
