Monday 11 September
Today was our last day in the Fannie Bay house. It has been a real home with everything we need, including good sharp knives. Once again we had morning coffee at Cornucopia, which has become Rob's Darwin favourite. It really is lovely sitting on the shady verandah and looking out at the water.
We had planned to go on the ferry to Mandorah for lunch but the reviews were not great and the ferry timetable didn't suit so we changed our minds, had lunch at home and headed to Berry Springs for an afternoon dip. The GPS took us a strange way and tried to leave us at the end of a dirt road but we persevered and found the park. The water was lovely and, fortunately, crocodile free. We swam under the waterfall and had our tootsies nibbled by little fish. You can pay money for that in spas but it's free, and a bit unnerving, at Berry Springs.
If you ever go to Berry Springs make sure you stop at the kiosk and buy an ice cream. I can recommend the passionfruit flavour - absolutely delicious and locally made.
Berry Springs sounds a great place
ReplyDeleteHey Rutts so glad you are enjoying the cool spot. I have spent some very nice times there. Once even with Anne. Berry Springs is always lovely. Your notes and pics make me a little homesick.
ReplyDeleteGreat swimming in all three pools at Berry Springs! And fabulous under the waterfall looking out through the wall of water!
ReplyDeleteNot so nervous about Airbnb now Rutts. I am jealous of your swim at Berry Springs. When there with my brothers, the springs were closed due to lack of water flow and, consequently, the presence of blue-green algae! K
