Gismo Queen and her King

Day 24 - Darwin

Up early this morning as we had the caravan repair man coming at 8am. We were outside having coffee when he arrived (very punctual!) so we stayed out of his way while he made some running repairs to the shower to get us out of trouble until we get home (and so we don't have to tuck the shower door up into bed every day). He also fixed a few other things for us (why not, he was billing Jayco for it too) so it was very profitable morning.

After he left, we finished our breakfast and did a load of washing before Natalie and Hayden came to pick us up. We headed into town under the expert local tour guidance of these two recent natives.......which meant we saw the main street of Darwin! We enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Hotel Darwin and then continued the tour. This included the World War II oil tunnels (which were constructed for war use but the war ended before they were actually used), the Port, Fanny Bay including the old Fanny Bay Gaol and then a great ice creamery for our afternoon tea/dessert. The tour continued and the tour guides improved their spiel! They then took us out to their place to check it out. They have a great set up so it was nice to see where they live.

Late afternoon they dropped us back to the caravan park as I was on dinner duty tonight and had a roast planned. We fired up the Weber Baby Q and later in the evening, enjoyed a yummy roast lamb with all the trimmings.
