Darwin 15th June Mindil Beach Market
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi to all .
We are leaving Darwin tomorrow and start heading down to
Kathrine for a few days.
But we are stopping at Berry Springs again to all have a swim
one more time. Then onto Wangi Falls for a swim at the falls.
But I think this water is going to be cold.
Then on to Kathrine.
As we will have to stock up on food water for the next part
of our journey across to the West of Australia.
I have put this Map on for you to see how we are going,
I will add to the red marking line as we go.
you can make the map bigger by clicking on it.
We have a great spot in the Caravan Park a space just for two vans.
Just across the small road there is a very tall palm.
Witch I could not get in one photo shot.
This is also our view we see from the van so lovely
Then just up the road a bit is the children s water play Park.
love the way the bucket fills up then empty's out.
The kids love it.
Pat was having a granddad nap after setting up camp.
That nigh Pat called out to come see what was sitting on the bonnet of the car.
It was a tiny baby Green Tree frog. He would have sat in a teaspoon.
We went to help him down .
But he jumped up on the screen the we lost him as it was dark.
We finely made it to Mindel Market on Sunday the 15th June.
We were early so had a look around. Pat is taking some photos.
This is Mindel Beach. You can see they have Beach guards watching as there are
salt water chocs in the sea so no one is swimming.
You get a table and take turns in saving it.
So when you go get something to eat you have a place to sit.
Have you food drink and plenty of talking.
As you can see by me have a feed.
They have a lot of entertainment there.
Singers - line dancing - stick fire dancers and all that sort of thing.
A lot of people come to the Market and bring there own table and chairs.
As the are so meany food stalls from different country to pick from.
Here is one photo of the market at night not very good photo sorry.
Below is a photo of Ronnie with Arnold and Ronnie's sister Rose.
Rose flue in to Darwin that afternoon From Melbourne and came strait to the market.
We all had a great time. And we were all worm out from waking around the market.
Here are some Photos Pat took on Mindel beach at sun set.
Because Darwin faces west you get to see the sun set here.
There are a lot of People. Plus lots of Tourist there.
Hope you like seeing the sun set Photos.
