The build up is a famous part of Territory weather cycle where the heat and

  6. The mural is a good representation of what I imagine the build up to the monsoonal breaking might be like. Awfully uncomfortable and that's what the mural says.

    A very merry Christmas Sami.

  9. Love all the Christmas-decoration and wish you and your family a very happy time!
    Oh, yes, the humidity in / around Darwin.

    1. LOL, oh the potatoes went bad with the humidity, yukksss!
      I find the heat in humid weather is unbearable, glad Perth hardly ever has humid days, so even though it can get hot, it's not too bad.
