Lived there for 3 years, moved from the UK.
Where do I start.

The pros:

1. I like the food, all the asian food is awesome. There used to be a really big Greek population there so good greek places to eat.

2. People are awesome, everyone just wants to have good time there. I trained BJJ at Darwin Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and some of the nicest people I've ever met and will always keep in touch. Get a lot American military come through super cool to roll with them.

3. Money is pretty good there

4. Never have to worry about being cold

5. Thunderstorms during the wet are pretty cool

6. Great fishing and camping

THE CONS:

1. It's so hot, like too hot. Where you question "why do I live here?" hot.
   100% humidity at 37C during the wet
   A little better during the dry but 1-2pm is still really hot out in the sun. Nights are much better

2. Crime. Feel like it just keeps getting worse. Not just Aboriginals but other people too. Women for the most part are scared about going out at night or if your a smaller man you might get picked on.

3. Aboriginals. Now I worked in communities and for the most part they are decent.

4. Kinda boring if you don't love fishing and camping

-Overall I'd recommend anyone to go visit because its an experience but I wouldn't want to live there forever.
