Snapshot of a village. We’ve been moving northwards from Darwin & the culture changes as much as the island-dotted seascape.

Delicate fairyfloss skies late one afternoon in #Darwin.

Living in #Darwin this past year has had many highlights. Finding wild white sand beaches in East Arnhem Land to rival #Queensland was a delightful find! I was brave enough to swim in this crystal clear sea but couldn't really relax. Crocs are rarely seen around here. But still...

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

AI TAKING A WILD STAB AT IT WITH SOME

yeah, this! I wish for treadmills everywhere when I'm wasting time in airports, departure lounges, et al

You've got to be kidding. The whole tipping culture of USA, whereby customers pay for business overheads ie staff, is ludicrous #fail

I'm a sucker for a palm tree sunset and the #NorthernTerritory has a gazillion of them. This one was taken at #DundeeBeach a couple of hours south of Darwin

That was such a fun trip! It felt like a real escape from the dreary covid noise 😄🌴🚐

Fiona Harper travel writer @fionaharper.bsky.social · Nov 26

Yeah, a training plan is key, especially when the weather is rubbish. I'm dealing with energy-sapping hot & humid weather for next few months.... ugggg :-(

I'd wanted to visit New Orleans forever, so when the opportunity arose after BrandUSA's #IPW I laced up my walking shoes and hit the streets.
Here's why you should walk one of the USA's most walkable cities
