PORT DOUGLAS, AU - - Christel (who, along with her husband, Wolfgang, owns the lovely little hotel where I'm staying) and Bronwyn (the housekeeper - -yes, they only have one) and I were sitting around discussing travel in Australia.
During a tiny break from her usual online work, Christel looked up the hotel where I'll be staying in Darwin when I leave Port Douglas on Thursday. "Very nice," was Christel's comment. She had traveled to Darwin years before ever meeting Wolfgang and has always wanted to go back.
"You know you can't swim up in Darwin," mentioned Bronwyn, very matter-of-factly. "Because of the crocodiles."
Ya gotta love Australia! Always something to keep you on your toes!
And, yes, the hotel does have a swimming pool.

tour guide disagrees with the second last sentence. you can swim in darwin beaches between May-Aug.
im a member of the darwin sulf life saving club. its not the crocs you have to watch out for. its the box jelly fish. they arnt around May-Aug. so you go swim. you do still need to avoid the crocs, great white sharks, 2m large sting rays, coutless sea snakes, stone fish and blue ring octopus. yeah its real safe.
