Darwin

Sunday 10 September

Another leisurely start to the day with our morning coffee stop back at Cornucopia. The verandah is a very pleasant place to sit. Today seems hotter than previous days but there is less breeze and that makes a difference. There was lots of yacht activity on the water.

After a sandwich at home we went for a drive to the northern suburbs, past Casuarina Shopping Centre to the foreshore at Brinkin. The tide was way out and it was not very inviting so we continued on our exploration, having a drive through CDU, then across to Berrimah and on to where we came in on the Ghan. We saw a couple of petrol tanker road trains as well as Darwin's answer to the painted silos. We checked out the marinas round Stuart Park and finally found ourselves in the city centre. It was a big circuit of Darwin and our reward was an ice cream at the Cold Rock place.

Back home for a rest before going out to dinner at Yots, a Greek restaurant at Cullen Bay. A delicious meal and a much better option than another place we saw. Would you dine at a restaurant called "Gastro"?
