Darwin NT

Our friend Maria from the Darwin church took us to 'Aquascene' where the fish come right up to people to be hand fed. Some quite large specimens in this bunch and quite unusual having them come right up to you without any fear at all!!








Joey & Sam enjoying the waterslides at Leanyer swimming centre. It's actually a free swimming area which is amazing. We loved it here and the boys slept well after some long sessions up and down the stairs to the top of the slides!! An added bonus!!








Here we have the boys at sunset from Darwin's East Point - a lovely setting for a meal and some quiet time (not possible with Joey & Sam!). Close to Darwin's famous Mindel beach markets location.




From the natural beauty of Litchfield NP we arrived at the 'Top End' city of Darwin. Quite warm (hot for us southerners) at around 33 degrees most days!! This shot is of the man made wave pool where visitors and locals get some relief from the heat.
This is because most of the waters around Darwin have either crocodiles or marine stingers as a threat to anyone thinking of swimming in them!!
