At the top

DARWIN Had the weekend at Berry Springs just relaxing and on Monday drove here, a lovely short drive of about 30 km's, we are now set up for four weeks here. Really nice to be in one spot for that amount of time and putting up the annexe etc, have even got out a table to be able to cook outside. The days have been lovely hovering around 32 degrees and the nights 20 - 22. Last week they had a low of 16 and the locals were most shocked and having to buy heaters and blankets.
Since getting here we have had the vehicle serviced, got a couple of new tyres and doing shopping etc, will do sightseeing next week. Had a quick glimpse of the ocean yesterday, the colour was just lovely so really looking forward to exploring next week and being back into taking lot's of photos.

Can highly recommend a sunset cruise on Darwin Harbour, and the impounded boat display at the museum is really good too. Fanny Bay Jail was also worth a visit.

There is a great Thai restaurant out at the harbour the sunset cruise leaves from, and we really enjoyed the buffet lunch at the casino (and I'm not a buffet fan!)

Wish we were there!

I just thought of another-the aviation museum was pretty good. I was amazed at the size of the B52

We've been a few times to Mindil sunset market and it's probably a must do, but I always come away thinking I must have missed the great food stalls.
