Darwin

 Before I start with Darwin I forgot to mention Tony is the proud owner of a Didjeridoo.   He has 3.5 months to learn so watch out Adelaide when we return.    We have some very weird sounds coming from our caravan so far!!   Joe, you had better practice before we get back!

We have now left the waterholes & gorges for warm, sunny Darwin & after hearing rumours that our caravan park was used for emergency housing for the "local folk" we were pleasantly surprised to see the Caravan Park was for tourist only!   The wave pool above looked very inviting & is very popular here because of the stingers and crocodiles in the magnificant bays.

After a brief talk by the guide we entered the "World War II Oil Tunnels" much to my horror!    I get a little claustrophobic these days & the smell & dampness from the seeping water in the tunnels was not good.  Interesting walking along looking at all the war photos & history of Darwin, but was glad to be turning around heading back out the tunnel to the fresh air!

Tony checking out the cannon at the Military Museum.  He hasn't been himself this week.  Has been swimming in too many thermal pools & swimming pools and has picked up a viral infection, but I don't think this is the way to cure it!

Couldn't believe it when  I got a text from Sue Warburton saying she was in Darwin.  Here we are "the three Sue's" having coffee at Cullen Bay in Darwin.  Tony did join us but he was on the other end of the camera!

 Finally I get my Barra  & Chips on the Wharf Precinct.   Beautiful sitting out on the wharf with at least 100 other people on a hot balmy night listening to music & who should walk passed us - Sue Warby again & Sue & Rod but they were heading to the Restaurant for a more elite meal!

Mindel Beach Sunset at the markets. .... 100's of people lined the beach to see the sunset then wander through the stalls & I lost count how many food stalls there were to chose from for dinner.  Lots of bands & entertainment to listen to as well.
