This is beautiful Berry Springs where I went last November (2007). I spent a week in Darwin with my son David and his wife Sarah. The weather was extremely oppressive. It was hot and sweaty all day and all night. During one of the nights we stayed there, the temperature did not drop below 27 degrees. Simply walking to the clothesline is an effort with weather like that. Your skin is constantly wet and slimy and you just drink water all day long. Most tradesmen or people who work outdoors, just get used to changing their clothes at least twice a day.
In contrast, we went to beautiful Berry Springs one hot Sunday afternoon. That was like stepping into a postcard. Words elude me on this experience. It was idyllic, serene, restful, refreshing and reviving. Best of all, there were no crocodiles (well that particular day anyway!)
