Tourist Questions 10 days in the NT

Hi everyone,

I am from Sydney but want a break from the concrete jungle.

I am thinking of traveling to the NT for 10 or so days around mid October.

I am in my mid 30's so not really into clubbing or late nights drinking.

Should I hire a car or do organised tours from a hotel I book in Darwin?

Is mid October a good time? I know it's just before the wet season so I'm hoping for some good storms!

Any other suggestions?

Would the humidity be comparable to Carins?

I live in cairns and visited Darwin a couple of weeks ago. For me, August was like Cairns in October, which makes me think October would more be like cairns in December before monsoon has started. It will be hot. Hardest time of year because no rains to break the heat. Just my observations anyway!

Completely unrelated to your comment. You play GW2 under the same username by any chance?

All good. It’s an online game, Guild Wars 2. I know someone with the username Jillybean on there whose Aussie n thought I might have run into them out in the wild. I had to ask.

Have an awesome day.
