DAY 87 TO 89 - FUN DAYS OUT IN DARWIN

Getting ready to go to the pool by the caravan. It's always so hot in Darwin! We go to the pool whenever we can.

Toby and Dave had a father-and-son day out. They had a nice meal by the playground.

They also ran a few errands out in town.

In the afternoon as it got hotter they went to a really cool free water park called Palmerston Waterpark, which is a hidden gem that they then introduced to the rest of the family. 100% recommend!

They finished the day with an ice cream at Macdonalds.

The next day the rest of us went down and had a go on the waterslides too. The water slides are really good for races!

After a long day at the water park, we went back to Mindil Beach Sunset Market.

Kyra was just checking out a candy floss stall as the market was closing and Kyra noticed they were chucking the rest of the candy floss that no one had bought. They noticed her there and asked her if she wanted some, so she ended up getting free cand floss!

DAY 86 - DARWIN BOTANIC GARDENS

 

We went down to the Darwin Botanic Garden and had a look at the beautiful plants.

When we went down we were in time to see a guy painting a beautiful animal mural which is a great addition to the gardens.

Some of the stunning plants that we saw throughout the gardens.

DAY 84 TO DAY 85 - FATHER'S DAY

We went to the Darwin lagoon for Father's Day where we played in the sand and swam.

Testing out the boat that Ayla made.

Dave opened his cards and presents from the kids at the wharf while having a drink.

Back at the caravan Dave tested out one of his presents, which is a coffee art stencil that says "I'm in charge".

DAY 83 - SUNSET CRUISE

It's the day of the cruise! We got on the boat and immediately started making ourselves at home by chatting with the other guests and helping ourselves to the delicious food on board.

 

Chris even let us all have a go at steering the Streeter!

Chris and Stef together.

DAY 82 - WWII OIL TUNNELS AND RFDS MUSEUM

Some Bush Stone-Curlews came to visit us in the morning. We always hear them screaming at night!

We went to the underground WWII oil storage tunnels and looked at the rows of information along the walls.

We saw the Streeter again.

We went to the RFDS museum on the wharf, where there was a VR experience about the Darwin bombing which the kids enjoyed.

We saw a Diamond scale mullet fish by the wharf.

Stef and Dave have oysters and beer again!

A beautiful sunset on the wharf.

We finished the day with a lovely concert by Adam Scriven at the Mindil Beach Sunset Market.

DAY 81 - GOING ON THE DARWIN FERRIS WHEEL

 

We went to the wharf to see the sunset and the blue moon from the ferris wheel.

The Streeter. Stef recognised the owner of the ship as someone who she used to work with on the Tiwi islands so she talked to him and he invited us for a cruise.
