Janet and Peter On Tour: Darwin

We spent a lovely day in Litchfield National Park visiting Wangi Falls, Tolmer Falls, The Lost City -which was via a 4WD track, Buley Rock Holes, Florence Falls and the magnetic termite mounds.
The next morning we headed to Darwin and are staying at a place near Howard Springs. The couple that own the place have room for eight self contained vans. They supply power and water but you need your own shower and toilet as they don't have that facility. They do have a Dam full of Barramundi and lots of other fish as well as a couple of fresh water crocs, and a tinny you can take out and try to catch fish - or just row around like we did.
The heart of the city is only about 15-20 minutes away so it's really convenient. We have been all over the place and had our fill of retail therapy. There's a great swimming beach which is protected from stingers and crocs and is surrounded by grass which makes it really pleasant.
I arranged to meet an old friend, Katherine, for lunch and we had a good catch up and will meet again before we move on.
Steve rang this morning and asked where we were. He was just coming into Darwin and happened to be only five minutes from us so he stopped by for a chat!
We will be here until at least Tuesday because we are waiting for a new fridge door to come in - ours fell off! Luckily Peter has fixed it temporarily so it's all ok.
Today, we packed a picnic lunch and went to Berry Springs Nature Park where we swam in the different rock pools and went for walks or lazed on the lawns.
