As I sit here in the same old, same old Newcastle NSW, my mind drifts to the Northern Territory of Australia. NOT a state, but a territory! What does this mean?
Well to my mind it means that this part of the largest island on earth is not important enough to the "pen-pushing, desk-sucking, blotter-jotters" in Canberra. ( General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett VC DSO KCB)
This part of the largest island on the planet is extremely important to the Commonwealth of Australia.
Why it is continually dismissed by the rest of Australia is beyond me. Maybe it is that most Australians have never been to Darwin or any other parts of this captivating place. I guess it's cheaper, and has more bogan 'street cred', to say your went to Bali or Phuket.
Anyway, here are some of my favourite pics from the NT.
