Darwin Tuesday 24th July Weather 30/35

We arrived in Darwin around 3pm and after visiting the third caravan park we eventually found one that had vacancies so we booked ourselves in for two nights and set up camp then chilled out for the rest of the afternoon.

Got up early and headed into the city, first stop Parliament house,government house.its was interesting reading back over the bombing of Darwin on the 19th of February 1942 wasn't till reading I did not know there where two bombing that day first one 9:58 then two hours later.next stop lunch at the RSL.After lunch Roy and Warren went through the old under ground oil storage tank.Peta and myself just chilled out as I can not go underground. On our way to the car found the old post office which was relocated after a few years after the bombing.went back to camp chilled out.about 5:30 the campers beside up joined us for happy hour,plenty of fishing story's around.

Had a sleep in then Peta and myself went shopping while Warren and Roy rotated the wheels on the car.Back to the caravan park,washing then cleaned the van while we had water and power. About 4:00 headed out to the Mindil Beach sunset markets hoping to get a bargain what a let down the sunset was lovely
