From the ERSA :
- ILS at Darwin is the usual 3 degree's.
- ILS/ Vasis Glide path both intercept the runway at 1448'.
- RWY 29 hookcable is 1525' (465m) from threshold RWY 29.

Many years ago whilst in a jump seat of a Bae146, I noticed the crew brief the approach and landing and to "intentionally" fly 2 dots low because of the 75' threshold crossing height.
