Well Monday was a Public Holiday in sunny Darwin Town, and to celebrate Picnic Day the town stages the Darwin Cup , the feature event of the Darwin Cup Carnival. The day at the races was enjoyed by almost 20,000 tourists and locals, and was a mix of town and country with the fashion stakes high (think suit jacket, shirt, tie and boardies as a combo).
While the weather was great, shade was a bit of a premium as I told myself next year it's the corporate tent... too much lining up and drinking warm white wine will have that impact on you.
Did however manage to stay up til 1am and finally went to Discovery (yep I went to a nightclub). Discovery is a mini Heaven II - actually owned by the same ppl and follows the same floor plan, only half the size, but with the same crowd and DJ format. Having been there once I can safely mark it off my list of places to go in Darwin...
One for my brother who is/was a huge Mick Doohan fan - the world motorcycle champion is up on assault charges after headbutting a bouncer at the local strip club over the wkend.
