... Au lieu d’un levé de soleil à l’horizon, se fut un levé avec un horizon noir et de la fumée à quelques endroits. Je peux vous dire qu’ont a été vraiment épargné de justesse. Sans perdre de temps, nous avons pris la direction de Katherine Gorge pour faire une petite randonnée en canot. Bon, canot est un grand mot, car ça ressemblait plus à un kayak ouvert avec des pagaies. Cette petite balade fut agrémentée d’une baignade dans ...

... heat. We bussed it into the centre of town, and thankfully, as Darwin is so delightfully compact, we could walk to our hotel…also delightfully situated on the Esplanade.

We were dropped off in Mitchell St, which was absolutely buzzing with activity and all sorts of food spots open, so Andrew walked back there for our takeaway dinner with an endless choice of nationalities. We went Indian ...

... I learned in Singapore by the way where a friendly voice on the subway at each stop urges us all to do that with care. It just sounds so proper and British. Sorry mates, I don't mean to alight from my story on a tangent here though...I finally got to the museum and within fifteen minutes was done viewing their displays. Had the heat not been so unbearable inside that metal hangar I would have lingered a little longer to read the display boards but I just couldn't ...

... hatte. Obwohl es mit der Mitchell Street hauptsaechlich nur eine Strasse mit Lokalen gibt waren wir sehr positiv ueberrascht wie viel in der doch recht kleinen Stadt spaetabends los ist und wir genossen das fortgehen eigentlich mehr als in Sydney.

Nach dem Wochende unter Menschen waren wir wieder bereit uns in die "Wildniss" im Litchfield Nationalpark zu begeben.

Finally we made it to an australian rodeo. What a spectacle! Apart from bucking bulls (massive beasts!) and broncs (horses) the rid**s competed in disciplines like ste** wrestling and rope and tie. It is fascinating to see how the rid** grabs the young ste** at his horns, slips out of the saddle of his horse and wrestles the ste** down to the ground by twisting its head. Or the rope and tie: A calf is caught by lasso, the horse ...

... cushions for anyone who forgot there own. They also provided insect repellent and before the film started, it was possible to buy a variety of home cooked meals to eat during the film there was also a licenced bar, the atmosphere was more like a club than a formal cenema and all in all a good evening sitting out under the stars watching the film with possumms snuffling around looking for any discarded food. The next day it was on to Litchfield National Park.

... falls and magnetic termite mounds (for Steve). Will keep you posted. 

27 July

Friday we did go to the Royal Darwin Show and it was very hot and busy as it was a Public Holiday.  The dog bit didn't start until 4 and we were a bit tired by then.  There were not as many varieties of dogs there either as the dog show was split over the three days.  Lots to see there though.

Saturday and Sunday have been a couple of quiet but hot days but then today we went out on a ...

... the hangar. With interesting movies of World War II and explanations of the various types of planes on display, including the remains of a crashed Japanese Zero, the center is a fabulous tribute to the veterans of that war.

The last stop was a favorite or ours, a tour of the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. It was a uniquely designed building filled ...
