Ooh yeah! This series should be compulsory viewing for anyone moving to Australia (as a heads-up, a warning).

[@glendadowe]

OR as an enticement to come to OZ ! (We need to people our country!)

[@msdemeanour]

Yes... Show them the facts 😁

[@kimhuett2119]

Thanks for the hot and sweaty tips Jimmy! I’ve been told it’s okay to go swimming so long as you put a feral pig under each arm like floaters. Then if a croc bothers you just toss them a pig.

Was half expecting/hoping this one would be a 20 second video that simply consisted of 'beer', and maybe also 'singlets'... But I appreciate that you chose to educate us all instead 😋

I'm originally from Darwin and most of its correct *Except* we check the BOM not to stay dry, but to dance in the rain!! 😁 and to know where the storm is to go watch it/photograph it. For a Darwin kid thunderstorms mean Christmas is getting closer!!! Storms = Christmas feeling. You forgot cyclones (and thankfully we have aircons now, in the 70s people went to bed naked or in their undies... there were a few naked people after cyclone Tracey because everything blew away so quickly!!) Aaaaaand I have no idea what yeti merch is... 😂 And it's Dick Ward Drive, which joins Coconut Grove to Fannie Bay. 🤣 We wish we could buy a heater, for when it gets to below 20°C 😂

As a Darwinite, I approve of this message. True about the Berrimah Line, it's near JB HI FI, but not the one at Casurina. Edit: its a boggie, not a shower. You could have also added its called The Kath-rine, instead of Kathrine. And no Humbugging.

Correction - the “kill them before they kill you” burgers. Croc, shark, snake. Never felt less guilty eating meat in my life as when I was dining in Darwin 🤣

[@FionaEm]

Yes! "Beers, beers, beers!" makes it into a POV vid 😂 I lived in NQ for a few years and this vid could equally apply there 😂 You'd sweat as soon as you got out of the shower, and you had to put out an esky for the milkman's early morning delivery because it was so hot that the milk could go off before you woke up and brought it inside!

[@utha2665]

Nothing like a nice Darwin stubby or three.

[@sa25-svredemption98]

After working in Darwin for a few years, I had a work flight that took me to Cairns at the back end of the wet. They opened the door about 5 inches...and I froze! That's when I knew I'd been in the Top End too long! Aah, the memories!

[@justbecause3187]

The inevitable question: is there still a milk man up there? There hasn't been one in my part of the country for like 25 years.

[@trishgrant2715]

Spent several weeks in Darwin last year. This is pretty spot on. But you didn’t mention barramundi which is on every menu. And nothing about the glorious array of indigenous art you can shop for which those of us from “down south” flock to

A workmate moved to Brisbane from Darwin. While we were having coffee one day she said that Darwin was a lot classier than Brisbane and the people more refined! I just about spat my latte. She didn't know that I'd visited Darwin many times as my favourite relatives moved there from Melbourne.

[@repentorperish1405]

Nah, more important than the eskies, are your sets of thongs, generally your around the house and gardening thongs, then your every day knockin about, going shopping and fishing thongs, and then your very best formal occasion, going out to dinner, weddings, Funerals, and Christening thongs (double pluggers mandatory here for formal occasion wear). And of course any Darwinian with any self respect at all, scrubs and cleans their thongs at least once a month - whether they need it or not.
