I don't leave until the 22nd or so.

Re "I don't recall the weather being too oppressive when I was there in '74"
must have been a mild build up then, normally Oct / November the heat and the oppressive humidity starts - which is why they call it the "Troppo season".
You must have spent most of your time in air conditioning

Singapore and Darwin are both in the tropics and both have the same type of weather, maybe just your perception of what was what then.

Don't know about the proximity to the bar rule, apart from being general Pub politeness to let others get served. however the "caused an unseemly rush at about 6-o-clock ?" was called the 6 o'clock swill and yes, it did occur, then everyone piled out onto the street with the obvious consequences. Note - I wasn't around then, just know of it from reading and being told stories.

" Cut that out you two - you'll only encourage SAM."
