🏠 Darwin Waterfront Cafe — Darwin, Australia

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I visited this cafe after my trip to Kakadu National Park. It is located near the beach and has a great view of the ocean. I ordered a flat white and a chicken sandwich. The coffee was really good and strong. The staff were very friendly and gave me tips about other places to visit in the Northern Territory. Many locals and backpackers come here in the morning. I met a Japanese girl who was also on a working holiday. We talked about our experiences in Australia. I want to come back here again before I leave Darwin.

✈️ Australia Tips
オーストラリアでカカドゥ国立公園を楽しむなら

カカドゥ国立公園を訪れる際は、ダーウィンを拠点にするのが便利です。ダーウィンのWoolworthsやColesで水や軽食を買っておきましょう。オーストラリアの日差しは非常に強いので、日焼け止めと帽子は必須です。これらもスーパーで手頃な価格で購入できます。

カカドゥへは車で約3時間かかるため、ツアーに参加するか、レンタカーをシェアするのがおすすめです。ワーキングホリデー中なら、シェアハウスで知り合った友達と一緒に行くと費用を抑えられます。公園内にはキャンプ場もあり、多くのバックパッカーが利用しています。

カカドゥ観光後は、ダーウィンのミンディルビーチで開催されるサンセットマーケットが人気です。毎週木曜と日曜の夕方に開かれ、世界各国の料理を楽しめます。ワーホリ仲間との情報交換の場としても最適です。オーストラリアならではのBBQ文化も体験できますよ。

Yuki: Hey Tom, are you free this weekend? I want to go to Kakadu National Park.
Tom: That sounds great! I've wanted to go there for a long time. How do we get there?
Yuki: We can rent a car and share the cost. It's about three hours from Darwin.
Tom: Good idea! Should we stay overnight or just go for one day?
Yuki: I think we should stay one night. There's a lot to see in the park.
Tom: OK. What do you want to see the most?
Yuki: I really want to see the rock art at Ubirr. It's thousands of years old!
Tom: Me too! And I heard the Yellow Water cruise is amazing. We can see crocodiles there.
Yuki: That's a bit scary, but exciting! Let's book the cruise online tonight.
Tom: Sure. Should we bring our own food? I can buy some sandwiches at Woolworths.
Yuki: Yes, please. And don't forget to bring lots of water. It's really hot there.
Tom: I know. I'll also bring sunscreen and a hat. The sun is very strong in the Northern Territory.
Yuki: Perfect! I'm so excited about this trip!
Tom: Me too! It will be an amazing experience.
