Jade and Craig's wedding at a typical gorgeous Darwin seaside location. I wore a dress. The family doesn't believe me and demanded photos. Here's one with Della and Aaron. I think I look like a gigantic tomato, with the emphasis on gigantic. But that's just me.

Dave's Darwin Days in the Dry
LRD's been out and about enjoying the excitement that is the Darwin Dry. It's possible this will be our last Dry in this pocket-rocket town so we've been getting into everything we can. Doesn't make for exciting blog entries, unfortunately, but nonetheless here's a list of some of the things we've been up to.
Sunday afternoons at the Sandbar: it's a relaxed Darwin feel with great cocktails and the Casino's Sunday afternoon concerts provide a fantastic ambience. I watched the sun go down over the water in style and then ate dinner at the new Il Piatto restaurant, famous for its $300 pizza, which I just couldn't bring myself to buy.
Territory Day. Not as crazed as last year; nonetheless this year's Territory Day was loads of fun. I bought about $100 in fireworks then headed with a group to East Point where we could watch the amazing Mindel Beach display (possibly one of the best I've ever seen), eat prawns and blow things up. This year, everyone stopped partying at midnight so I actually got some sleep as well.
Ash Grunwald at the worst venue ever; the Darwin Entertainment Centre. Ash was fucking awesome. Follow these links to check him out on YouTube and, if you have the chance, pay the money and see the guy live. Somewhere where you're not forced to sit sedately in your seat while he rocks out on stage.
Aside from a great hen's night, in which we hung out at the Sandbar drinking cocktails, felt really really old at the Vic in town and checked out Throb's new stage show (the local drag act), I'm just looking forward to the Darwin Festival, which starts at the end of July.
I'll hopefully have some photos this weekend from the Beer Can Regatta at Mindel.
See you round.
