Darwin, Northern Territory
Darwin ( ; Larrakia: ) is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia.

It is the smallest, wettest, and most northerly of the Australian capital cities and serves as the Top End's regional centre.

Black Milk (Beasts Of Bourbon Album)
''Black Milk'' is the third album by Australian blues rock band Beasts of Bourbon which was recorded in 1990 and originally released on the Red Eye label. Details Salmon said, "We recorded ''Black Milk'' with all these crazy dynamics and there's too many ideas on it really. I love it! The Beasts Of Bourbon really believed could do anything. I was willing to use that idea to get my songs on, like "Cool Fire" would never dare be presented to the Scientists – it's an old 40s sounding song. We've tried to be like Dr. John, every song on the album is different." Reception In the review on Allmusic, Skip Jansen states "Third album from the Australian garage punk and pub rock super-group is a fine album of lurching blues-driven rock, though it pales by comparison to the two previous albums".

A raw blues-rock album with post-punk afflictions ... With the enigmatic Tex Perkins, who could be one of rock & roll's last great frontmen, and the blistering slide-guitar-driven sound, the band does a fine job of re-creating the sound of a twisted night out at the pub".
