Friday night Australian theme…. Dress for dinner- Anzac Day

 Everyone enjoying a pre dinner drink before our themed Australian dinner. We were to leave the building while it was being decorated for dinner. After a drink and chat we went to get into our costumes, dress up clothes, outfits. Whatever we felt was our Australian feelings.

Seafood shopping & sunset cruising in Darwin

 I have had a wonderful trip so far. Travelling with great friends and family. Camping at my brothers and enjoying family time. I spent a day out shopping with my family in their Asian grocers. Then off the the seafood docks & shop.

Look at these mud crabs. Amazing….

Then it was girls night out. A beautiful sunset cruise on Darwin harbour getting to know everyone. I was with my daughter, SIL, niece,  niece in law and a wonderful travelling, camping friend of the family. We had a ball and a drink, of course.

Some more holiday photos

 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.
