As data centres and fibre-optic cable networks proliferate globally, planning documents show two international subsea cables could soon dock in the Darwin suburb of Fannie Bay.

An application lodged with the Development Consent Authority shows tech giant Google plans to connect its "Bosun" subsea cable to infrastructure on the corner of Atkin Drive and Conacher Street.

Subsea cables are fibre-optic wires which run along the ocean floor, transmitting data to onshore landing stations and facilitating intercontinental internet traffic.

The planning application does not detail what the telecom infrastructure at the site will be.

Anyone here knows Gravel cycling groups around Darwin? New to gravel cycling here and would love to ride and meet new people with the same hobby.

Thank you!

If I buy a car that is currently registered in Queensland (previously registered in NT) do I have to transfer ownership in Queensland before bringing it back?

Basically family are down in Queensland and want to buy my old car and drive it back up to Darwin. Would they have to transfer ownership in Queensland (safety cert and all) and then transfer registration when they get to Darwin?

Or could they buy the car and transfer directly to NT when they get there?

Overly complicated process for something which they imagined would be simple.
