We have spent the past six days in Darwin and there has definitely been a few things we have noticed that Darwin likes to surprise you with that other cities don’t have.

You know it’s the wet season in Darwin when……

1. You deliberately have a cold shower and it’s still feels like a hot one.

2. When the shade of trees is searched out and fought over by animals and humans alike.

3. When the washing thats almost dry starts sweating itself due to the humidity.

4. When the cold water is warm no matter how long you run it for.

5. When you are worried about water getting into your fuel tank if you take the cap off because of the instant condensation.

6. When you have never swam in pools so much in your life, but the water is never cool.

7. When you can’t tell if you are sweating or it’s raining.

8. When crocodile infested water looks so tempting you contemplate swimming, thinking the crocs will be slow and uninterested in you.

9. When you brace yourself before heading out of air conditioned places because you know you will be hit in the face with the intense oven like heat.

10. When you think the caravan is leaking from the roof, but you realise it is only the condensation collecting and dripping.
