Darwin is 307 k north of Katherine surrounded by beaches  and tropical greenery and SHOPS!!!

And here is our ‘pseudo Scout’ which we hired to get around. Col  appreciated the air conditioning. Yes it’s a TTToyota.

At East Point evidence of WWII can be seen at the Military Museum.

We were made feel very welcome by Brett and Leizl. Just a few kilometres from their home is the Casuarina Coastal Reserve where we threw the ball for the dogs and watched the sun set.

Fishing and water sports are very popular. This is the marina at Cullen Bay.

The new railway station looks very similar to the one at Katherine and is just as far out of town.

This is the ‘famous’ Adelaide River Pub. This area was transformed into a massive military base when Darwin was bombed during WWII.
