18 is what really gets me.

I was born in a place where if you poured boiling water on the front step, out of a tin bucket, you could let go of the bucket before it was empty because it was standing on a pillar of ice.

Living in a place where it can be 40⁰C in the bedroom at midnight, isn't where I should be.

But I love the place too much to leave.

18 was one of the worst things about living in Darwin and doing that in the end we didn’t bother waste of energy. After 12 months So glad to go back home to Melbourne. And no more tyrannasaurus sized cockroaches everywhere.🤣

I live in South East Queensland so we have humid summers but I would hate to live in Darwin. But I would take the humidity instead of not knowing how to dress every morning. My very first time to Melbourne I was a wee lass of 19 just got off the bus from Brisbane (I was flying to Tassie to visit rellies) I ended up changing 3 times in a space of a few hours. It was cold, it was wet and it was hot. I was shocked as I thought I had been there all year 😂 🥵🥶
