28 July – Litchfield to Darwin

Another easy drive up the Stuart Highway or so we thought until we lost Gordo and Kaz. Anyway, we all ended up at the caravan park which happens to be under the flight path of Darwin airport and one of the RAAF fighter squadrons. Bugger, there does not appear to be any curfew.

We visited the Darwin museum/art gallery in the afternoon then finished the day off with an evening down at the wharf which included seafood and crocodile meals. The moonrise was spectacular, featuring a large, almost blood red orb hanging over Darwin.

Gordo got all enthusiastic about feeding chips to the huge sunfish alongside the wharf. This is probably the closest Gordo will get to a fish despite all the fishing gear he has brought with him.
