Well it is a beautiful day in Darwin, the town named after Charles Darwin the creator of the Theory of Evolution. Do you believe in evolution?
Whether you do or dont is not of great importance - what is important is that you enjoy your life to the max and have a great time wherever you are. Help those less fortunate than yourself if you can - but look after yourself first so then you are able to help others.
Philosophical? Well yes I suppose it is - but then why not!

Darwin the Doorstep to the Australian Outback
The weather in Darwin is now 22 at night and 32 all day - no rain and clear skies.
Basically its Paradise on Earth here right now with amazing adventure options ranging from staring (with complete safety) a 5 meter crocodile in the eye from less than half a meter away. Sure there is some very thick glass between you and him!!
Or watching the huge but graceful and slender Brolga bird dance with her partner in the billabong at Yellow Waters - a sight once seen never forgotten.
Or sitting with very black and very beautiful Australian Aboriginal traditional owners of the nation and talking about their 50,000 year old history in this land and their spiritual beliefs and customs, bush food and bush medicine, and hunting with them on their own tribal grounds.
Or sailing on Darwin Harbour on an exquisite sunset dinner cruise with champagne and canapes then a magic evening meal with the best Australian wines brought to your table by a Swedish or Danish backpacker on temporary work in Australia in the peak tourist season in Darwin (April through October each year).
And we do this every week because it is our job. Sigh! Its a hard life.

Singapore - Green Tree City
Last week I visited the great state of Singapore to arrange new tours and outback Australian adventure trips for Singapore travellers heading to the great Australian outback. Being a runner I put on the sneakers and each morning at dawn ran around the Botanical Gardens. Amazing how many walkers, joggers, doggers and strollers there are in the gardens at 0600 in the morning. A beautiful area indeed.

Adventure in the Australian Outback
Well it has been the best month of my life in March with magnificent lightning storms over Darwin and out bush in the Kakadu Region.
We have sailed on Darwin Harbour in the sunset eating oysters and sipping champagne, hunted bush tucker across the top end (wow turtle is tasty) and all the while watching the Darwin skyline grow by the day.
This modern rapidly changing Darwin environment is a challenge for environmentalists to ensure sustainability and the reduction of old fashioned global warming practices in buildings and tours alike. We are doing our best to buy green product and go where we leave nothing behind except our footprints in the sand - soon to be washed away as though we had never been there. But we have taken our memories with us.
If you would like to tell us what you have done on your last visit to Darwin please go right ahead.

Gong Xi Fa Cai 2008
Well here it is again - wow what a short year that was 2007.
We have been busy lately with a Japanese tour group visiting the Kakadu National Park Indigenous Australian ancient rock art sites and rock shelter dwellings over 50,000 years old. The tour also spent 3 days in the Australian Red Centre visiting Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park. They had a great holiday which included the famous Ghan Railway travel from Adelaide to Alice Springs then to Darwin in the north.
Next target for CAT Travel is to bring in a number of secondary and primary school student groups from Singapore and China. The last group from Henderson High School visited the Top End via Darwin in November and had a ball as well as a social and cultural experience with our operators.
CAT Travel is an acronym for China Australia Tours Travel - but we cover the whole world and provide special outback Australia cultural and Indigenous tours for people from all over.

What A Great Sydney Symposium
Well what do you know. We went to Sydney last week to talk about how we take people out on our outback tours from Darwin to see the great Australian outback from the north instead of the Centre. We talked about our darwin tour and our Australian outback tours and our adventure tour of Australia.
And then we had a good look at Sydney as a city and we realised that there was a lot to be said for starting in Darwin for an outback tour like this one Darwin Tour and then heading straight for Sydney via Cairns because the contrast between the two places - Darwin and Sydney - is absolutely unbelievable. Truly such opposites in such a short time is mind blowing.
