How long does it take to drive from Palmerston to Darwin?

Question

We've been given a house in Palmerston as we are moving up there to join the police, I feel a little disappointed like I'm going to be way out of Darwin or it will be a major trek to get into Darwin city and that we're basically in 'the sticks' is this true? (no offence to anyone living there!)

Answer 1

Ah no! lol its about 20 minutes to Berimah which is next to Marrara.  Its not into the town Darwin, thats about 35 mins. Berimah is where the training center for the police force is.  Otherwise they have police stations, in the city and at casurina, next to the shopping centre (the only shopping centre!).

Darwin people tend to have there own ideas about distance.  Trust me you will laugh at them. I lived in Leanyer about 20 minutes from the city and it was classed as "the sticks".  Wait til you meet peak hour, and you look around at twenty cars!

At least if you are living in Palmo (its what we called it) you are near the target!

Hope this helps. Just remember people who live in Darwin are a little different.

Answer 2

Should take you about 20 minutes
