July 24 - Darwin

Arrived Darwin early afternoon. Set up camp and then went to the Wave Pool and WW2 tunnels, then Mindil Market. Mindil Market is a twilight market - we got there around 4pm and ate our way through it - there is every cuisine you can think of - even fresh oysters/kilpatrick etc! We met up with our travelling buddies and all sat on the beach with our dinner and watched the most amazing sunset (can't upload any pics today as Phil has the camera but watch this space!) We had a lovely night roaming around the market - I purchased a few sun dresses and we bought a family holiday reminder - a didgerdoo - Jack hasn't stopped playing it since - you may see him sitting on street corners in Hampton in the coming months doing a bit of busking! He loves it and is actually quite good - the two lessons he had have really helped!

Phil and Jack and some of the other boys and dads have gone deep sea fishing today off Darwin - they left at 5am and won't be back until 3pm - which gives us girls plenty of time for a bit of shopping, lunching and a pedicure could also be on the agenda - a nice girlie day sounds great - mind you have to fit in the grocery shopping as tomorrow morning we head off to Litchfield Park and then commence our journey south again to Three Ways where we will head to the East Coast - hopefully arriving Townsville 1 August. Remember - will post current pics on my next post - until then, Ciao
