Nemesis Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Had a mate who lived there for a few years, she was single at the time. Had a good government job so could afford a decent home in a good area. She has always described it as an "interesting experience". She's a pretty tough cookie, and always gave as good as she got. She said there's a lot of sexist attitudes stlll, and its a tough life in a harsh climate. Not one for the faint hearted. Shes one to make what sh can of hings and got involved in various clubs pretty fast but she said she had to do all the running, they don't come to you offering friendship with open arms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFC1975 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Personally I would not wish to live in Darwin as a single womanInterested to know why The NT is a tough place is some aspect & a big tradie , construction & mining area which generally are male dominated but a lot of females up here working in those industries Depending on how you rate crime it’s a safe place. Yes you can have anti social behaviour, burglaries like anywhere else but you very very rarely have more what’s classed as serious crime against the general public. You’d be more at risk walking around parts of the larger Australia cities than you would in Darwin. Due to the weather there’s very few pedestrians anyway Common sense prevails & unless you have a extreme valid reason or circumstance why as a male or female go out of your way to walk around alone late at night anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 When you say NT I presume it's Darwin. Outside Darwin there's nowhere that I'd really fancy. Even Palmerston isn't that nice. If you're the type that reacts or gets upset to being called a white C*** I wouldn't bother going. Last time I went I nipped out to the local shopping centre first night I was there. Some local ladies started shouting the usual. Best to just ignore it and carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had two female friends move up to Darwin from Sydney over the last few years - one to return to live with her parents because her marriage broke up, the other because she got married to a soldier who got posted there. Both found it very tough (the newly-married one seemed to spend the whole first year in tears, judging by her Facebook feed). Both have adjusted now but it's worth noting, both of them had either family or a partner for support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada2Australia Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I will write about my experience living in Darwin in a few days. Hopefully it will be helpful for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
