Lovely surprise first thing this morning when
our friends Annabella and Claudio discovered us in the camping area and came to
say goodbye as they fly back to Italy tomorrow.
We wish them God speed and safe travels back home and hope they can
adjust to real life without too much trouble.
Toured around Darwin today picking up a part
from Trakka for the Van from the GPO then off to view the harbour.
We visited the
WWII oil storage tunnels built to protect the Navy oil supplies – unfortunately
only finished after the end of the war. Interesting info and photos of Darwin in the War.
But also showing the futility of War!
The harbour area is lovely with parklands, a
wave pool and a harbour beach netted for box jellyfish. We were happy to cool off at the beach. Travelled around to look at the swank Cullen
bay beach and marina area – where a wedding was soon to be held.
Rodger, having had no success fishing for
barramundi, did the next best thing – off to the fish markets at Fisherman’s Wharf
to buy some fresh barramundi fillets. They
even gave Rodger a senior’s discount and free lemon! Beautiful on the BBQ wrapped in alfoil with
lemon, pepper and nuttelex – yum! It
will be off to the fish markets again tomorrow before we leave for Litchfield National Park.
