2 - 6 Aug 2010 - Darwin




Hi, back to the blog.....we have been so busy re-acquainting ourselves with Darwin that I have not opened my computer. Monday we were off to the races, an interesting day enjoyed by all.....not much luck with backing winners however except for Lyn who was the best punter for the day. The fashion was varied, men in drag, grass skirts etc. but some of the young ladies were very classy. Tuesday morning was into the Electoral Office to cast our postal votes and then a lesuirely lunch at the Trailer Boat Club overlooking the beach. Wednesday morning Pete & Kev packed ready for a bbq lunch and we headed for a look at Dundee Beach, Crab Claw Island and finally to Berry Springs for another swim. The water fed from these springs is so lovely it has been one of my highlights of the trip. Yesterday some more education visiting the Darwin Museum and revisiting the Military site at Echo Point. Today is housekeeping day, washing, cleaning the car and van and restocking the pantry as we are on the road again tomorrow to Kakadu.

  1. Have been in and out of the blog all week looking for the newest posting. Glad to catch up on where you are and what you are doing. Looks like raceday went really well with the guys looking extremely handsome in their Hawaiian shirts. Happy travelling onwards to Kakadu tomorrow. Luv Judy and Ken xxx
