    we have isa's in Darwin and they cope very well - they get free run of about an acre each day but locked away at night - our otherwise friendly german shepherds become wolves at night. names include KFC, WorksBurger, MegaDeth.

Quite a few were done in Stuart Park and Parap up to about 2004, but not many since then. Most blocks in these areas are zoned SD which has a nominal minimum lot size of 800m² - so you...
