Darwin 28 July to 3 Aug 2011

Our first Darwin experience was Doctors Gully where the children fed the fish as they were standing in the water. They nibbled on their toes adding to the thrill.

The  DSO  ( Darwin Symphony Orchestra ) played a 'Rock Symphony' at Darwin  Botanical Gardens. It was a great night out.

Waiting for the concert to start.

Waiting for the concert to start.....with refreshments.

The concert was colourful in more ways than one with the conductor riding in on a Harley at the start and a whole group of bikies riding in during the Queen song 'We Will Rock You".
It was a unique and entertaining night.

We lucked out to be in Darwin for the Darwin Cup so Danny and Ian headed in for the day.
It was hot and very crowded...good beer drinking weather.
They backed a few winners and had a great day.

No dress code for how to dress up for the day.

This guy's suit was made out of coconut skins!

We visited Darwin Waterfront. It is a modern and trendy new addition to Darwin.

Danny ( Jodie's cousin), Jodie, Chloe and Andrew on Mindel Beach during sunset. We visited the markets and had dinner on the beach.

After sunset from Mindel Beach.

  • The HMAS Darwin was in for the weekend so we went aboard. In the background we saw a demonstration of a helcopter rescue...it made waiting in the sun and queues worth it.
