Day 33 - Darwin We didn’t have to rush anywhere today so we had pancakes for breakfast then Rog & Bren went on a Bombing of Darwin WWII Tour. I did some washing then took the kids to the Museum & Art Gallery. We loved looking at sweetheart the saltwater croc and seeing a video about her capture. We then went to the cyclone tracy display and still can’t believe the devastation they endured. We looked at the animals and all the other displays before ...

Day 32 - Darwin The day started with Brendan cooking us yummy french toast for breakfast. I did some washing then Rog & Bren headed out. As a special treat I took the kids to the movies to see The Lion King with the Quaine family. We then went back to the caravan for lunch and got ready to go fishing.

We also couldn’t believe how many birds were flying around. We ...

We were hoping to stop at the Roadhouse as they used to have lots of animals but they are closed for renovations. As we got closer to the Adelaide River there were lots of smoke and a few fires due to b...

Rog took the car in for a service today to a local mechanic in Howard Springs whilst the kids and I stayed in the caravan playing lego and drawing/colouring-in. We then went for a swim in the pool. We had a quick lunch then Rog dropped the kids and I at Casuarina Shopping Centre while he went to the Darwin Military Museum. I really enjoyed browsing through the shops again and the kids were so well behaved (probably cause it's been so long since they have been...
