Yes, we are in Darwin. We
are actually here a day early but having done everything we wanted to
do and seen everything we wanted to see in Kakadu we saw no reason
not to come.
We are now in a suburban
caravan park listening to the sound of the air conditioning unit
operating in the van next door, a little different to all the
interesting remote places we have stayed since leaving home. As we
arrived in Darwin, we realized that the last traffic we encountered
was in Toowoomba, exactly two weeks ago.
Our last venue in Kakadu
was Mamukala Wetlands. We have seen a lot of wetlands and a lot of
birds but nothing compares with the size of the area covered by water
and the number of birds there. The picture above tries to tell the story.
Every dark shape in the picture is a bird.
We will entertain
ourselves here until Tuesday when we fly off to Biak to join the ship
for the cruise back to here. I may have nothing of interest to report
from Darwin but I am told that there is internet on the ship so
hopefully I will have some interesting adventures to report from
there.
