  • This episode is a pretty chill one, just van life around Darwin as we settle in for Christmas in the wet season, we have seen more rain in the last two weeks then over the last 18 months! Fogg dam was pretty cool but we are really looking forward to seeing some of these local sights once the rains really get cranking. Carols by candlelight in Darwin was a great experience, especially because it felt like the heavens were about to open up and drench us all!
    Enjoy. 😊

      Thanks Jo, it really could have gone either way, I had this horrible vision of me removing the tension pin and the the awning ripping itself apart! Watch a few videos first, went slow, followed instructions and listened to Tania! 👍🍺

    Nice episode pity about your awning and it looked so easy to replace with just the two of you. Lucky you could do it between rain showers also lucky you weren't jammed in like sardines like some of the parks.
    Santa photos looked great, what a unique spin on the normal Santa photos. Definitely one for the memory books. We hope you have a lovely Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year.🎄🎇

      Thanks Dave, yeh there are very few travellers up here in the wet season so everything is nice and quiet. The Santa photos were so NT, it was great! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years too!

    Watching this as a Darwin Local, and it’s both the most beautiful season (rain, green, growth, storms) and the most horrid season (heat, humidity). Early mornings and late afternoons is the sweet spot of doing anything out-doors - also when it’s raining😂. I’m sure you’ve found all the free swimming spots: Howard Springs, Lake Leanyer Water Park, East Point Lake - and actually the military museum there at East Point is worth the fee - lots of military machines to climb over for the kids… I also recommend the coffee van (Jays Coffee Bar) at the Nightcliff Jetty (only on weekends after 2pm), pull up a seat under the trees for beautiful views, and there’s a playground next door (Sunset Park).

      Thanks for the tips Rebecca! We are heading to the Palmerston Christmas Wonderland this evening as it opened yesterday. The kids are super pumped!

    We lived in Darwin for 3 years and while we enjoyed our time there we never got used to the brutal wet season. Thanks really enjoyed the video and have a nice Christmas.

    Merry xmas you lot and I hope u cooked some more onions u really sacrificed those. Also interested what ya did for work but not if it's a secret obviously. Agree with Ken ya should have done the bouncy thingy slide.

      Yeh, the onions were a little on the 'well done' side.... I think not doing the bouncing pillow may be one of my life regrets... But there is always time! In relation to work, it's nothing exciting. I am working for a large corporate based in Melbourne and working remotely. Very lucky to be able to work on the road, much of that is thanks to Covid lockdowns as everyone can work from anywhere now as long as you have internet!

    Come on Marcus you want to do the jumping pillow slide. Midnight would have been parent safe. Great job on the awning. Merry Christmas to you all.
