Evolution Building, Darwin, NT

As at 2020, tallest building in Darwin. Is stands 100m and, if you imagine another 11m on top; it would be the same height as the Saturn V rocket that took the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon...

The people who live in the house in the left foreground were awesome.

Chinese Cemetery, Darwin

~2.5km stroll from the CBD. A descendant of a work colleague is interred therein.

When I find out some more about its history...

Darwin, NT

The Charles Darwin Centre, I think, is intended to represent the oyster in its shape and, the pearl in its sheen, particlarly at either end of the day.

Certainly a Darwin landmark.

North Australia Railway

This section runs from just near the Winnellie Post Office to the junction of Bagot Road and the Stuart Highway.

Pine Creek has a museum based around the line.

Fan Palms

These palms stand next to 49 Woods St.

Sometimes I just get lucky. Within a couple of weeks of taking this photo where I was standing was locked down as a construction site.

Fanny Bay Cliffs

Just north of the Trailer Boat Club...

Darwin Bowls Club

In April 2021 the Darwin Bowls Club renovated the outdoor sitting area concrete floor. Under the floor they found red and green cement in which is written:

3rd October

1970

McCain

Family

The 1970 concrete was left intact and covered with sand to preserve it when the new floor was poured.

East Point - Cyclone Tracy Memorial

December 25 1974 Cyclone Tracy made land at this point. The frangipani sculpture is a memorial to the victims of Cyclone Tracy. In his address on Christmas Day 2025, the President of the Rememberance Committee that commissioned the sculture, acknowledged that an unknown number of First Nations people also died. He dedicated this memorial to those people and their families as well.
