great city view

First time visiting Darwin late May. Will everything be calmer by then?

OMG, now that's a downpour!

I was just thinking of you in Darwin, and it had been awhile. So glad for the updates from my favourite holiday city. Greetings from a crazy weather in Melbourne.

Thanks for the update. Sometimes think I would love to return to Darwin to live. The wet season is hard but there is something about it.

Hi. Is that Bagot Road?

excellent video

Fucking shit hole. All the knew suburbs are shit holes.

can you swim in Darwin? where are the crocs?

Terrific watching you enjoy the water in Darwin - you really make the most of the place Gavin. I'm up there in a couple weeks - be great to grab a beer and catch up. Will be in touch, have a good one mate!

Looks beautiful so calm and peaceful . We were yet again taking of trying to make a visit to Darwin after my 60th birthday last week I need to get on with it looks like a special place and certainly top of my bucket list 👍

Why does it have to be your last swim ?😢

Wow! Great show!

Great tour through Howard Springs, lots of information and interesting context. So much housing growth in Darwin. Those GoPro batteries can be a struggle - do you use the blue ones or the white ones? Apparently the white ones are more hardy.

So many new estates in Darwin, interesting to see and be orientated around this one. Thanks for the tour!

Thanks for the look about really enjoyed it weather sounds wonderful I’m jealous lol .looks like Darwin’s starting to grow a little but at least there putting the structure in to deal cope with it ! We are just coming into our Autumn here in the Uk . The weather’s unsettled with temperatures of around 17 in the day going down to 5 ish at night ! I absolutely hate the cold and winter it seems to go on forever so we try to get away somewhere warm in January February time cheers all the best 👍

Thanks for posting. As a past resident of Darwin, it is fascinating to see the spread of new suburbs. Impressive new shopping plaza and infrastructure. Yep, a gorgeous climate overall and the humidity, although a pain in the a.se at times, is what makes Darwin so unique. Your channel takes me right back there.👍👍

was at the very place you vlogged with my daughter 2 years ago...basically walked where i walked!she has moved to adelaide now...not happy!.. i preferred darwin..she does too..adeladie too cold...we both dont do cold... great vlog!

Mitchell Street sure has changed over the years.

Hi. I was the viewer who asked you some time ago to check out Howard Springs. Thank you so much for taking the time to present such an awesome vid. I left Howard Springs in 1997 so yes, I see huge development in some ways. The growth of housing in the township area is huge as it is out of Palmerston. The Howard Springs nature reserve, in some respects, has hardly changed at all but has been improved in other ways. Many,many memories. As I used to live at Howard River Park, many evenings I would take my young son for a walk along the tracks at the reserve - magic. Huge thanks again for posting such a lengthy vid - very much appreciated!!

Great views of Howard Springs. The new homes and water towers. You could see the heat coming through your cars windscreen. And how dry the bush looked. Melbourne has had some shocking wind. My shed got demolished. Makes me miss the Top End. Thankyou for taking the time to film for us. Hope your go pro battery survived. Cheers.

Mate, so much delicious stuff there. Gotta love a VL Walky in a Group A livery. Looks like a great show!

Absolutely too good, loved it. I always feel like I get a real dose of Darwin in your vids mate, absolutely bang on - great stuff.

I absolutely loved this video. I would love to attend a Pitch Black air show. It is disappointing that Harrier Jump Jet technology was never developed further with newer and more advanced planes ?

You never mentioned the humidity. 25 degrees is very mild but what’s the humidity like? 100% I have only been in the dry season and it’s just perfect for me, as I don’t think I could handle 100% humidity. Nice video too, I still love Darwin .

That Osprey is a cool weird machine love it . I used to live in Newbury Berkshire UK right next to the American Air base when I was a kid we used to ride our bikes to the perimeter fence and watch the planes and the air shows were brilliant. Im pretty sure it’s all been decommissioned now .

Its sad that Australia is being invaded and overrun by the US.

2:30 Looking forward to seeing the Globe Master and F/A 18 Hornet buzz Brisbane this weekend.

Great video as always. Love the open day. Highlight for pitch black.

Interresting video! Thanks for that! Greetings from a sunny and warm THE NETHERLANDS! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

We have had over 140 military aircraft involved in this exercise. Quite extraordinary to watch and hear them take off and land. Darwin Airport has no curfew and no noise restrictions so a perfect opportunity for every one to test the capabilities of craft and crew.

Stinky!

Look like a great day out ! Lots to see 👍

It's a pitty it has come off as a clasic car show it was ment to be a all car show new and old jdm euro aus usa UK everything. (Thats what the organiser told me) hopefully they advertise it better next year then should be a big one.

Looks like such a lot of fun and the weather was perfect ! I must admit I always thought you had crocs in the water around Darwin but I don’t know why I think that as I’ve never been lol 👍

I moved to Darwin in 2020... after living all my life in Melbourne. I was 73 then... Should had done it years ago.

Great video mate, those photos were incredible. All that food looked absolutely fabulous. I don't think there's any difference between a yiros and a kebab apart from the name - but I could very well be wrong. Terrific video and great to see you the other day.

Those planes are awesome 👌I live in the UK near RAF Lynham in Wiltshire so we see lot of planes come and go there was an air show on recently in Faiford near Oxford and a spitfire activity done a barrel role over are house it was Awesome to see a spitfire let alone it doing that ! Sometimes there’s a Lancaster bomber that comes over to amazing planes. That market looks superb Im hungry now lol

Thanks for sharing. Do you remember the annual RAAF fly past at the Merredin Show ?

Looks like a great day.

Thank you 🙏 so much for showing us around, to see how beautiful 😍 Darwin is 😊. I don’t mind the humidity much as I did some personal fitness in Bali during 36° 😅 outside my little hotel 😊👋

Some awesome machines!

Love you Darwin, Nightcliff beach is one of my favourite swiming area. I remember, the city council put stinger net around the swimming area. Me and my mate use to bbq under the rapicreek bridge with a few beers.

Looks interesting 🧐 will watch it later

Absolute eye-candy mate, loved it - thanks for filming it, dream of owning too many of those.

Absolutely brilliant some fabulous cars 👍 makes my old ford streetka look a bit shameful lol

Memories from my youth in the 1970s. Wish I could have bought some of those beauties. I still want a Mustang even now. But the Dark Horse is over 100k. Have not seen one yet. That Cobra or the GTHO..wow.

Great👌

I love how involved the V8 Supercars are with Darwin as a city. That opening minute was awesome!

Awesome some right tasty motors ! wish I could have been there it’s cold and raining here ..👍
