    Watching this as a Darwin local… yeah you haven’t convinced me I’ve missed out by avoiding Crocosaurus in the city😂. There’s heaps of free things to take the kids - the difference between free and paid entry is City Council funded (Leanyer and Palmerston water parks) or Federally funded (nature parks and reserves) or privately owned (Wave pool, Crocosaurus, etc). Some things to add for others travelling: Darwin Museum, Darwin Botanical Gardens; sight seeing along the Nightcliff foreshore and walking on the jetty (there’s a park and food vans), East Point nature reserve (take a picnic or go after visiting the Parap Saturday morning Markets and getting a famous Laksa), there’s a lake for swimming and a big playground. Darwin also has a big WWII history, paid places I recommend is the War museum at East Point (worth the money), the Oil Tunnels, and walking the Darwin City Esplanade, which is peppered with WWII memorabilia and playgrounds. I haven’t been to the Aviation museum or the 😮Royal Flying Doctors Service Musium on the wharf but I’ve heard they’re good.

    Hey guys, Chloe I love your drink bottle you had on the Ferris wheel. That was cool. The crew are taking ideas for our trip next year. Seems like my car has already been there😂😂. Darwin has changed in 30yrs, since I was last there. Looking forward to seeing it again. You guys definitely seemed more relaxed now your holiday is nearly over. Always the way. Commercialised places everywhere you go. It sucks. We'll be definitely looking for off grid, cheaper camping options. But 5acres looks mint. Cheers guys...
    Mark....

    9:30 You folks should consider getting an Isuzu NPS 300 / 75 155.
    But guess each to their own.
    19:57 this is more amazing than Aqwa in perth...wow
    So turns out the group im in knows the person that owns that Isuzu truck.

    Relieved that Brodie is sorted and there's nothing seriously wrong. I can only imagine how concerned you would have been.
    Another great video and tips for what to do around Darwin and where to stay.
    I can't say as I'm pleased that tour operators are teaching crocs how to jump for a feed. Seems counter intuitive to me. Crocs aren't discriminating when it comes to a feed.
    (More) safe travels to you all.

    Darwin is a bit 💸💸 by the sound of it crocacash , did laugh though Cam at not wanting to pay to feed the fish , I thought that’s what your fishing was 😁

    Fantastic episode, too true about caravan parks, I feel they charge what they can get away with. A bit rude that they charged full whack for a reduced service, especially in school holidays

    Wow 15
    Years ago we did our second territory trip from Qld and did all these things. The prices are insane. Fish feeding was free except for the fish food. We took 4 kids to crocosaurus cove and had the best time. I can’t remember the cost but it wasn’t 95 that’s for sure. Prices are crazy now

    Having been to Darwin a few times loved your vlog. For your next visit once at Crocosaurus Cove is enough. Unfortunately it tainted you spending more money to visit Aquascene fish feeding. The cove teems with fish and no way compares to the few fish you showed off the wharf. It is a unique experience the kids would have absolutely loved.

    Really enjoying your videos, your Darwin series excellent.
    Can I ask for you input into an issue that I have with my GoPro11. When filming it appears a little jerky at time and I have been told that it is caused by the camera video stabilisation. You filming is very smooth to watch. What model GoPro do you use and what settings do you run it to? Hope you have time to help, cheers Mick.

    Those waterslides are
    free to encourage the aboriginal kids to swim there instead of the local bush creeks where they were eaten by crocodiles when I lived there,’ there were two kids a week that would go missing

    Hi guys, loving all your vids, got a question about your disk brake conversion, are you happy with it and is it worth the money, Thanks.

    • @WildTouring
      @WildTouring  11 місяців тому

      The brake upgrade made a HUGE difference. With all the weight on the Dmax, and the van in tow, I wasn’t happy with the factory brakes. Wish I had done it sooner, I’ll be doing something similar straight away on the new car.

    Even in nz prices for tourist things are pricey
    Why don’t they charge less and have more thru the gates
    Obviously some ops don’t tell until to late, I notice a lot of rust marks so tells u something
    There would be a lot of travellers like u
