Darwin help

 Hi guys,

heading to darwin next week for work, we've booked a barra charter and a bluewater charter, but we have one other free day and was trying to get some info on any land based areas that will be within taxi ride of the cbd?

we are taking to rod bags, some light spin gear for the barra, jigging gear and some bottom bashing gear for the bluewater, and have some room left to chuck in a 9ft in case we are flicking off the beach.

any info would be great.

PM El Syd Camo, he was keen to hook up when I was heading there last year, although we ended up missing each other.

He's seems pretty good with info if he's not available.  Search on his posts and you'll find some good intel too.

 We were supposed to be flying in tomorrow (Sunday) arvo, but this volcano in Indo might be hindering those plans. :(

ive noted your advice and will be hitting up the rock walls Friday. Thanks heaps, appreciate the advice :)
