Just two days left in Darwin, and we debated going on a sunset cruise. Those among us who get seasick weren’t too keen, so we gave it a miss today. Instead we had fish and chips on the Wharf this evening. We had enjoyed doing this many years ago with Liz and Mum, and it was equally as pleasant tonight. The sunset is a little lost now, with many buildings around, but I did get a lovely pic.....
We have seen Japanese sailors in town for as long as we have been there, they are on a training ship, which is a tall ship with masts, and is moored at the Wharf.
Our last day in Darwin we headed off to the Wharf again, where we spent a great couple of hours in the Royal Flying Doctor/ The Bombing of Darwin Museum. There was a ritual reality show of the bombing, holograph movies and lots of displays . Darwin suffered over 60 bombing raids in total. It’s hard to imagine what it might have been like, despite the virtual reality show.
Whilst we were there we decided to take the sunset cruise, ( second sunset photo)
and thoroughly enjoyed it, the food was delicious, the ship was not too crowded, and the commentary was informative. To get back to our apartment we decided to take the free waterfront bus , and then use the skywalk bridge to come back to the CBD. A beautiful night for walking and today I walked 6,322 steps, according to my phone, which is 4.1 km.
Time to pack up and sort our cases out, as you are only permitted one carry on suitcase each on the Ghan train.
Reading your blog is bringing back fond memories of our trip to Darwin.
