Thank you so much for this beauty! Great map and fantastic textures.
It's great to be able to fly the Darwin area, it always has a special interest for me since I've been diving Darwin harbour; many casualties of war out there (from the Japanese air raid of 19 february 1942).
It is really interesting what's down below: sunk US troop ships, several Catalina flying boats, transport ships still loaded with bren gun carriers, motor bikes, trucks...
After all those years I still could pick up lots of ammunition, .303 rounds, 50 cal, cannon shells from the sea floor.. the place was littered with it.
Even a dud Japanese bomb was still sticking head-first in the sand.. what an incredible place!
Thanks again, your work is much appreciated!
