I've booked the following so far:

3 nights Darwin
Cullen Bay Fishing Charters - blue water fishing
2 nights Dundee Beach - staying at Skippers
Dundee Beach Fishing Charters - Barra fishing
1 night in Batchelor to see Litchfield National Park
7 nights in Darwin
We'll probably hire a car and go to Kakadu as a day trip

So far, we're booked into the following restaurants:
Peewees at the Point
Darwin Sailing Club
Cathy's Place

I would welcome any suggestions / comments

Gees not cheap. I flew a family of 6 to Viet Nam and the 2 week holiday cost less than this

Are you staying in Darwin for 10 nights? There is very little to do or see in Darwin itself.

Plenty of pubs though.
You’ll need all 10 days to visit them.
Start with the Parap Hotel.

Staying at the Pullman Sea Temple, can't wait to just walk out the door & fall into the pool.

Best time of year to head up there, check out Palm Cove also, expensive but absolute paradise

Palm Cove, IMO, is over rated. I'd stay in Port Douglas with the budget or Cairns before Palm Cove again.

Don't mind the Greek Restaurant there but apart from the esplanade it's just a small village between Cairns and Port Douglas

Goodluck mate. I had shower reconstruction 6 years ago after 4 dislocations.

Might pay to check out some restaurants online and book in now. Had a mate go there last month and he said they struggled to get into many places due to being booked out months in advance. I recommend the Tin Shed for dinner. Normal pub fare but the views are fantastic out on the front deck.

Cheers. Hoping to be able to ride the motorbike again & do the Finke Desert Race next year.

Awesome. Having goals should help keep you on track during the rehab.

All I can say is no matter how pain staking, lame, boring, the rehab is do it correctly and you will be rewarded in the long run.

I'm certainly looking forward to Thursday, 12 August - the last Thursday evening i'll have to worry about as a footy coach, and can enjoy winter evenings at home in the warm.

I won't be buying that one but I'll be asking a shit load of cryptic questions like "Is that your brest price?"
