We were so lucky to be able to have a holiday amongst COVID restrictions and lockdowns.
So here are just a few to show.
My first one was at Daly Waters. That’s an interesting little stop. You pull up and really all that is there is a camping, caravan spot. It has a great pool, a bar, restaurant and interesting things to look at. Like bras hanging from the roof. We wanted to book for the following Friday night on our way back but they don’t take pre bookings. They have 300 different type of sites available.
The only thing is they grey nomads ( older travellers) pull up and settle in about lunch time every day. So by the time we would get there would have been about 5pm so we passed on the idea.
But here was the fuel pump. You could fill up. Take a photo of the bowser and go into the bar. Show your photo and pay. Very different.
Luckily we didn’t stop there on the way back. The night before we wanted to stay a drunk went crazy and attacked some people in the bar with a chainsaw. All because he was refused more dinks because he was too drunk and told to leave.
Any way. Next was a week in Darwin. We had a walk along the harbour pier.
Then also enjoyed the Mindel sunset market. It I just love sunsets.was a beautiful view, feeling and mood. The weather was gorgeous.

You were so very fortunate with your timing. Such beautiful photos. One day we will get there...one day...
Wow, gorgeous sunset. And that bowser! So trusting.
Have to admit that we like to get to a camp site by lunch time if possible, or about 2.00ish at the latest. We stopped in Darwin on our Ghan trip, but sadly didn't get to see too much as I had injured my knee. Spent most of our time cooling down in the hotel pool, it was hard for us Kiwis to cope with the muggy humid temps.
Excellent timing for your holiday Jo, interesting way to record your petrol purchase. I would love to see Darwin one day. Beautiful sunset photos, obviously a popular spot.
You have had some interesting outback adventures!
The Mindil Beach market and sunset is the main memory I have of my visit to Darwin. It was wonderful then, and obviously still is.
Beautiful sunset at the market. It is on our list when we go towards the end of the year, but who knows if the tour will be cancelled.
You summed Daly Waters up very well Jo……
Great sunset pics….
OOOhhh nice... & lucky you to get it in before lockdown...xox
Glad you had such an enjoyable trip, and safe in that you stayed away from that bar! Beautiful photos.
You are lucky to get your holiday in Jo. That is very funny about the fuel. Lovely sunset photos.
Fantastic sunset. We don't get water sunsets in my neck of the woods.
The sign on the gas pump is so cool!
