So I (27F, 5'10) do long distance walking in cities all over the country but particularly in the greater Sydney area where I live and am looking to do some walks in Darwin since I have never been before. I have heard some things about the safety of certain parts though and it's unlike a lot other rough parts of the country. The walk I want to do starts at Lee Point and heads south and remains relatively coastal

Should I be fine with the route I have picked? Are there no go areas, even in broad daylight? Or should I be fine so long as I keep to myself?

Start time: 6:48

Finish Time: 9:27

Shoes: Sketchers Go Walkers 8

This is my first walk in my home city. I caught the first train out from Adelaide Station and set off from Munno Para at 6:48am. I was going to start at Gawler initially but decided against it when I learnt that the trains start up fairly late

I was told that Elizabeth (where the walk starts would be very rough and that I would feel unsafe but when I got here felt nowhere near as unsafe as it was made out to be and a lot of the people there were really nice.

Roughly the last third of the walk (Mawson Lakes to the CBD) was where the nostalgia went into overdrive as that's the area I had most experience with especially the stretch in Mawson Lakes since that's where I grew up
