Thanks Sazm2K12, thats reassuring to here, didnt want to move all the way across there and not be able to survive on my wages!! So would you say overall your enjoying the darwin expreience?

Hey, Sorry cant really help with the reviews as I haven't been there yet myself but I too hope to be moving across in October so let me know what you find out!

Thanks Cal, doesn't look like there is too many people on here from Darwin that can help though!!

Hi there, I am looking to move to Darwin with my girlfriend in the next couple of months and was looking for some good advice about the city and cost of living. I will be starting with a new company and will be on a salary of approx. 80,000 AUD, do people think that this is a good enough salary for two people to live on? The plan would be for my girlfriend to pick up a admin job or something similar once we are across there so it would only be a couple of months max on the one salary (hopefully!). I have read a lot about the cost of living being very high, would anyone be able to give me a rough breakdown of outgoings likely to incur, weekly food bills, rent, electricity bills etc? Would be greatly appreciated! Would also be good to hear from people who have recently moved to Darwin from the UK and their thoughts on the city, lifestyle etc. Thanks!!
