Darwin

We arrived in Darwin on the 21st of September, and booked into a hotel with real beds (luxury!) called Barramundi lodge.

The next day, after moving downstairs to another room (the previous room was already booked for tomorrow) we set out to find a free water park that had been recommended to us. Our adventures took us to a park with a pond in it, and we were redirected to the real thing. It was great, there was a park with small water slides, fountains spring up from the ground, cannons to shoot water with, a huge bucket that drenched you every few minutes and more!
Plus there was a pool and three big waterslides. The kids loved it.

The next morning we hired some bikes for the day. Milly and bro made an expedition to the botanical gardens, and afterwards when Maggie had come back from buying supplies for the Mindil beach markets that afternoon, she and the kids went to the museum/art gallery. Then it was time to go to the markets. Milly and Fabian secured their busking licenses for that night, and Maggie set up her stall.

The kids all had a go at cracking a whip, and all succeeded.

Then there was a great act by a man doing circus tricks, and another later on in the night by him and another guy.

Milly and Fabe both earned a decent amount busking, though Maggie did not so well.
And so ended our last day in Darwin.
