Love this place!

Days 32-35: Darwin

Three days of laid back luxury! So, although I admit we had stayed in a few more motels than expected, we'd always planned on staying in Darwin city so it was such a shame that we had to book into The Holiday Inn!  We LOVED Darwin. Didn't get a whole heap of photos (you feel like a real git carrying a big SLR around town) but we did have fun.  

A few highlights: 
1 - Hiring a boat at Corroboree Billabong near Kakadu (even if we did almost collide with a bobcat and a grader on the way there - no signs, no traffic controllers - they really do make up their own rules in the NT!)
2 - Mindil Beach Sunset Markets - and a catch up with some more friends - thanks for the moments guys!
3 - Nick went on another fishing charter
4 - Waterfront eats and shops!


 Rigging Up!

 The water lily flowers were stunning!

 Jabiru!



 Salt Water Croc!! There were HEAPS! This one was certainly not the biggest, but probably the best photo!  Needless to say I was pretty freaked out when we got close!



The beach!! We got some better photos, but I'm having trouble uploading them for some reason.

The Wrap Up:
Glad we had: Good advice from Linden (otherwise we would have missed Corroboree!)
Wish we had: Caught a barra for Nick :(
