You will be eaten or stung in the salt water, in the "fresh water" only eaten! I'm up there quite often for work, no-one venture's into the water there, you even check the pool before you go for a swim! The fishing is great!

Yes they kite up there.
Funsupply is the local kiting supplier/retailer/school
Www.funsupply.com.au
Popular Kite spots are buffalo creek, casuarina beach and nightcliff...
Robert peutz has a bunch of vids...type in 'darwin kiting' on Vimeo.
Take beer, a relaxed attitude, big kites like your 12's 14's 16's etc
Don't expect to kite and you may be pleasantly surprised!
Stinger suit recommended between Oct and May
