Darwin is a great city , but unfortunately the Australian military is the downfall of this beautiful city ,due to the attitude of the enlisted. Not wanting to live on the bases , has put pressure on the cost of accommodation for the normal people. Back in 2012 ,it cost $800 a week for a modest / ordinary 4 bedroom house in Palmerston ,when the government was subsidising military accommodation to the tune of $500 per week . So every greedy landlord was asking exorbitant rents. When the wet season comes along ( Nov - May ), half the town is transient due to seasonal work . Employers expect 12 months of scheduled work to be completed in 6 months due to the wet season , for pathetic money and high living costs. Can only advise to visit Darwin with 2 suitcases, so when you leave , jump on a plane and you're home , otherwise have a hefty wallet to drive home , if not you can become an economic prisoner of this beautiful city . Pitfalls are burning off season and Air Force planes taking off from Darwin International Airport ,causing sonic booms. Population ratios 4 men for 1 woman , where the ugliest of women can get laid . Some men have no scruples !

You don’t speak of the beautiful city I lived in for ten years. Loved the place and still do. All depends on where and how you lived I suppose. You obviously saw it from the arse end. Your comments suggest you have an atrocious attitude towards women. Yes indeed, in your own words, “Some men have no scruples!”
