Darwin-Broome-New Orleans news

Had a good read of the Darwin-Broome itinerary this morning. The striking thing is that we do a diamond mine, then go on to pearls all against a backdrop of million acre ranches, dramatic scenery and serene lakes and rivers populated by crocodiles, the saltwater kind, different from my African experience but dangerous none the less. Am still trying to decide whether to do the flight over the Bungle Bungles; will check with my son in law pilot before making a decision.

Sent off the media assistance form To New Orleans CVB this morning. Have identified several angles from which to write, emphasising the forthcoming literary festival in March 2011 . They directed me to the coolest website where you can plan your own itinerary, identifiying Editor's picks and crowd pleasers. It is very simple. You just click on the hour and 2 or 3 choices come up. The coolest thing is that you get a sense of the really interesting things to do there as well as the not so well known. You can find it at http://www.24nola.com
It looks as though the Saturday morning market is a must.
