Farewell Darwin

We’ve enjoyed staying in Darwin. It’s a small, well cared-for city with enough things to keep us interested for the week we’ve been here – world war 2 oil storage tunnels, the indo-pacific coral aquarium, the museum with its cyclone Tracey display and aboriginal art and Darwin’s many lovely foreshores and beaches.  But now we’re packing up and it’s time to go home.

Casuarina Beach

We caught the bus out of the city to Casuarina beach and walked along the wide and long beach as far as we had enough energy in the building heat of the day. It was lovely to be on a beach again, but swimming is off the agenda due to crocodiles and box jellyfish.

Nightcliffe Sea Breeze Festival

Saturday just happened to be the start of one of Darwin’s festivals, so we thought we go and check it out. It takes place along the foreshore at one of Darwin’s suburbs. It included a wide range of arts from different countries, including dance, music, painting…..Best of all a blues stage; superb while the sun was setting.
