We all had lunch together was a great day.


next day the 17th June We are all getting ready to go shopping.
But on the way we are going to have a look at.
 Darwin Nature Park not far away.


I forgot to take my camera. So Ronnie took these photos.
And must say has done a great job  


The lake is a natural blue from menials in the water  


There are a lot of very large Barramundi in the lake.
but only for looking at. No fishing aloud.   



Just us two oldies 
``~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the 18th June we left Darwin
 And decided we would all go back to Berry Springs for one last swim and so Rose 
can see and have a swim to  . Sorry I have no photos of this forgot my camera.
By this time we are all hungry so made lunch.   


Next we took of.   Litchfield National Park Wangi falls.  
  As we all wanted to go for a swim.  


I must say the water was very cold. But that was not going to stop me.
as I knew I would not be coming back here. 


It was sandy bottom on some parts so kept to that part as much as I could.
I have my two floaty noodles under my arms. 
Ronnie gave them to me. 


Decided to go a bit further on.


I have reached the other side near the small water fall.
As there are big rocks to stand on as was told by the lady next to me . 


So started to wave my floaty noodles to Pat on the shore.
.But Arnold saw me and waved. 


And then turned to tell Pat were I was. 

After this I swam back to say the water it is warmer over there. 

  
   
Then decided to swim back again but this time Arnold came with me.  


While we were sitting on the rock to rest and waving to Ronnie and Rose with her noodles.    


A man came near us and thought he could stand up. 
He went under and came up in a panicking he called out help. 
Arnold grabbed my noodles dived in as it was deep.
Putting the man on his back and gave him the noodles to hang on to.
So as not to hang on to him. 


Another man came to help Arnold get him up on a rock to rest.
The man was in a panic state. 
So Arnold and the mans friend that came over helped take him back to shore 


So after Arnold had a rest we both swam back to shore.
So it was a big day by all.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
We left the water fall drove on to  Adelaide river for the night to a caravan park.
Next morning Pat and I took of to Katherine being the 18th June.
