I'm guessing you might mean Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory although it's not rainforest, but it's a tropical climate with monsoon forest and wetlands and dramatic escarpments. <br /><br />A piece we did on Kakadu has actually just gone up on the Viator site so I'll link to that.<br /><br />A guide we used there was Sab Lord, although he took us to Arnhem Land adjoining Kakadu. His company is Lord's Safaris and you'll find them online - just google.<br /><br />Darwin has a number of good restaurants: EVOO at SkyCity is the best, then Hanuman, and Pee Wee's. I'll do a post for you.<br /><br />I don't know anything about a license... and they don't have a tourist card either, so not sure what that is about.<br /><br />Good luck with your planning!Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-10107877885524926992009-05-06T16:51:00.000+04:002009-05-06T16:51:00.000+04:00Hi Lara.

We are interested in the aboriginal culture, as well as natural areas. I was also wondering about hints for restaurants in Darwin. <br /><br />ANd lastly- I have read about an "NT licence" that ensures a discount on meals,etc.Do you know how to acquire one of these?<br /><br />I am researching all of the wonderful info in your 2 DAys in Darwin blogs.. <br /><br />thank you.

From the top to the bottom?!<br /><br />I'm sure Tamara won't mind. If you email me (there is a link from my profile) then I'll put you in touch with her. We will be back in the northern hemisphere then, but you can arrange to drop by with her.<br /><br />And thanks for dropping by Cool Travel Guide!Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-22214402134190852142009-05-06T10:50:00.000+04:002009-05-06T10:50:00.000+04:00Hello Lara, as I will be in Australia in August an...Hello Lara, as I will be in Australia in August and Darwin and Bendigo are on my list, I really enjoy your comments and tips. Since I am an avid horticulturalist myself - any chance of being able to visit your aunt's garden in that month?
