Gg: In Darwin, there’s an aviation museum (that I wasn’t really interested in…) and against my wishes, we had a look around. Info about Amy Johnson (first female to fly solo from England to Australia) and other pilots accompanied half of a B52 Bomber that took up well over half the hanger.
Next (still in Darwin), we went to the Mindil Beach Market for dinner. I had Mexican and a smoothie. It seemed like a very popular place.
As well as those two things, we went to a general museum/Aboriginal art gallery. There was an exhibit on boats, one on science and one about different freaky creatures that we looked at. Also, we saw Sweetheart, the gigantic salty (saltwater crocodile).

After Darwin, we rove to Kakadu NP where we had an Aboriginal-run boat tour along the East Alligator River. Apart from that and a two metre brown snake, there wasn’t much at Kakadu.
Then we stopped at Katherine for a night that held the no-oven-so-let’s-use-the-camp-oven inconvenience. It was pretty much that mum and I bought frozen pizzas and there was no oven, so we used the camp oven (dad saved the day again).
Following Katherine was Mataranka Homestead, which acts as a home to the Mataranka Thermal Pool, which, unfortunately, was a bit like a communal bath and gave us all a cold.
Borroloola is now and today we’ll try our luck with fishing!

The term has gone really quick - it doesn't seem that long since you left.
Happy travelling.
Hi from the Harrops. (remember, the head injury family!!)
Just checking your blog and read the comment you left on ours. Good to hear you also did a tyre. We thought we were the only ones it happened to. We are now up to tyre 6 and also a new one. Battery number 3 and fridge repairs x2. That's all !!
Good to see you are still moving along OK. We are now in Coral Bay, weather getting windy and colder. Home in 3 weeks.
Bye Bruce, sheryl, Matilda, Mairead and Jarvis.
