About the host
Hosted by Greg
Greg's an ex-foreign correspondent who fled Asia as Covid bore down, leaving behind his husky, his kayak, his mountain bike, his Defender 110, and those irrepressible smiles of the forever-happy Filipino people. He's most proud of his Tribal Adventure Tours company he set up by accident after biking with mates during a wicked typhoon to mark his birthday in the mid-90s. It quickly won accolades for highlighting the missing link in ecotourism--empowering tribal people. It's the winner of the Kalakbay (national tourism) Award. He's also responsible for Boracay SandCastles The Apartments and Palawan SandCastles Busuanga, beach resorts that persuade guests to swap lazing on the beach for activities and culture complete vacations. His other brainchild is Kayak Inn on the Tibiao River, a native-style adventure camp run by the Kiniray-a tribal people. Again, it's activities and culture complete. Come and be the active native in Darwin!
Why they chose this property
Best position being the Darwin Waterfront and absent the snobby exclusivity of standard up-market condo developments that build walls between residents and community. Instead we're part of a vibrant community in a picturesque seaside locale, just a stone's throw from the CBD. There's a host of amenities yet lots of space to do your own thing at the tribal-styled Darwin Waterfront Apartment. Tribal-styled? You're enveloped with Larrakia art in your apartment. This art is painted by local Larrakia artists. The Larrakia are the custodians of Darwin and its surrounds.
What makes this property unique
Add to the art are classic photos of the old Darwin that Greg visited as a boy. Darwin was a stop on the journey to Broadmere, a cattle station 180 miles down the road from Borroloola--now revered for its barramundi fishing. You can tap Greg to orientate you on foot and on bike. And, there's no charge. He'll pay his way too at the cafe and pub during your personal excursion of Darwin. Just request a day that's convenient.
