It’s shortly after midnight.  The PTP delegation left Sydney before 8 PM Sunday and arrived minutes ago in Darwin.  After some rest, they’ll be off for another day of activities.
ITINERARY FOR THE DAY:
Orientate yourself with the city of Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory.
Have a close encounter with a crocodile at Crocodylus Park and learn about these prehistoric reptiles during a feeding.
Explore the Northern Territory Museum and keep your eye out for “Sweetheart.”
Discover the natural beauty of Darwin Harbor in a picturesque drive through East Point Reserve. Now home to a large population of resident wallabies, this area played a strategic role for the U.S. and Australian militaries during WWII and still contains relics from its military past.
