Answer 1

I love Darwin. So tropical and interesting. I'm not there now but have spent ^ months at a time often. Once October comes I say to myself, I don't need this heat so leave. From september to April the heat can be very draining Hot sticky , what they call the build up before the wet season some call it the silly season but I guess you have similar weather in Indonesia so can cope with it. April to September the weather is glorious and Darwin comes alive with thousands of tourists flocking up there to get away from the cold South. I can't think of any dos and don't just be sensible and polite.Not sure what to say about prices I guess dearer than Indonesia but wages reflect that.  

Answer 2

prices in darwin are higher than most of australia . the main things i wouldn't do is swim in the rivers [ crocodiles ] or in the ocean [ stingers ] other than that you can do just about anything [as long as it is lawful]. the weather is tropical. if you arrive in september ,you will be going to arrive in the very beginning of the  build up.this is where the humidity starts to build to almost intolerable . then the wet starts , around december / january . the weather starts to change again around may.other than the weather darwin is a great place to live . don't forget to go to mindle market and watch a sunset. good luck
