The livestyle and natural features and nearby waters and countryside would be more than adequate compensation for expensive land.
Who says you have to live in suburban Darwin anyway , there are plenty of smaller communities within an easy drive of the city where you get all the benefits of being near an international hub as well as the community and lifestyle aspects of a country town ,as well lots of great places to go boating, fishing, camping, 4wding.
Can't see many negatives .... just need that great paying permanent senior or lead or principal level engineering or engineering management role and dismal and decaying Newcastle and NSW would not see my wife and I for the dust we'd out of here so quick.
Would be nice to go fishing and most aways catch something worth keeping too for a change.
Astronomy is minor aspect in this regard.
