  2. Darwin would be a good place to set stories, there are Marines stationed there so you might actually get an NCIS where they should be involved. And during the dry season a good place to film.

  3. I must say I’m disappointed but not surprised at the bureaucracy of the NT screen filming permit approval department. They could have encouraged astronomy tourism to Uluru but instead chose to take a ‘Pistol and Boo’ type stance over an innocent mistake that will discourage tourism here instead. Wish we focused more on encouraging visitors to this country than rigidly enforcing the letter of the law.
