Friday 8 September
This morning's coffee was at a different cafe, this time in Parap. After coffee we decided to check out Lorraine's old house in Leanyer. Shock, horror! They have pulled out "our" letterbox to put in a new fence and it is now leaning drunkenly in the corner of the block, with mail on the ground. Looks like they need to burn some of those palm fronds too. It is certainly not as well cared for as it was.
We visited the Military Museum and learned a lot that we didn't know about the bombing of Darwin and how long it continued. The museum is worth a visit, really well presented and the outside parts are extensive, with plenty of shade as you wander around.
Lunch was at "The Foreshore" in Nightcliffe overlooking the water. We had a lazy afternoon at home and Rob cooked an excellent steak on the barbecue for dinner. We spent quite some time watching a possum with a baby on her back and shared some banana with her.
Mail box sacrilege!!!!! Very rarely do you get a better "picture" of old homes.
ReplyDeleteSo did you get a picture of my house too?? Your photos are stunning Rutts, esp the sunset one. All looking great and making me a little homesick, except for the weather!!!
ReplyDeleteHot days; lovely balmy tropical nights!
