That was fast. You got it. I'm in Darwin.
Was there in 1985. Great place couldn't buy a drink. We were told liberty would be in dress whites. Which didn't make anyone happy until we found out once in town anywhere we went in uniform we couldn't pay for anything. Taxi? Free. Drinks? Free. Dinner? Free. Hell I was thinking about stopping by the Harley dealer. Great two weeks but so much booze (may have been a little sex too) I think I barely got out alive. Anyway you got it Phil you be the flag bearer now, go.

Actually given the clue i don't see why you weren't right with Tully. Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman and scholar. Not that I knew before googling it.
Edit: UP beat me to it.
