If you're looking for somewhere different to visit why not consider the Northern Territory of Australia. You will find some of the greatest guided fishing safari's in the world.

These professionals will take you to remote areas either by boat, light aircraft, or helicopter and help you locate and catch Australia's elusive Barramundi. You can also try you luck at potting our succulint mud crabs.

Included with this short article are a few pictures of the area in and around Darwin, capital of the NT, where life is considered laid-back. In the coming weeks I will post more pictures of this picturesque area of Australia.

There are two seasons, wet and dry, both spectacular. During the dry a barbie on the weekend with friends and cold beers is the usual. Our temperature ranges from mild to very warm as we are located just south of the equator.
