Darwin

This holiday gets better and better. The couple we met on the Telegraph track, and travelled with, Nev and Leanne, extended some good old Northern Territory hospitality and invited us to stay with them at their house in Darwin. So we left Point Stuart and drove directly to Darwin..........Ok, via the Humpty Doo pub! What a place. I wish I could have photographed some of the clientelle, but I do still like my front teeth, so you will have to use your imagination. A great pub with a huge menu and cold beer.
Darwin is an awesome city, full of life and a warm tropical climate. We went to the night markets where we met Pete and Kim again, fellow travellers we first met and camped with on Cape York. They now have work in Darwin and are staying for the foreseeable.

Darwin beach any day of the week, the place is pumping. We were lucky enough to experience Darwins first downpour of the build up season under the verandah of Nev and Leannes house.
We did a great evening harbour cruise aboard a ( licensed, obviously ) original pearling schooner.

My first for the day, honest!

We both loved Darwin and plan to visit again as soon as we can. Would love to be there in the Wet.
Thanks again to nev and Leanne, and sorry about your beer and wine stock, mate!!
