Thursday-Saturday 5^th – 7^th July 2012 Darwin (Lee Point)

Comments -  Luke Baker

Today I went to a wave pool in Darwin.  It was hard to catch a wave on a boogy board.  I also went to another fun park and there was a big water slide and there was several lanes plus at the markets I bought a croc skull.  We sat and had some dinner on the sand dunes.

We took Luke to Leanyer Water Park which is free to the public with multiple slides, pools, bbq’s and a water playground like Nickelodeon’s with the tipping bucket. There is also a large undercover playground. Luke quickly made a friend whom helped carry the large tube up to the top of the slide. After a couple of hours we headed home to get ready to go and  watch the sunset at Mindil Beach again. When we got there thousands of people were already assembled on the beach. The conditions were perfect, so we all grabbed some food and met on the dunes. I think we could get used to this! When it was over Luke was itching to get his croc skull so we payed for it and would pick it up at the end of the night so it wouldn’t get damaged. Nic bought some nice dresses, a purse and a toe ring. The didge band was on again and was fun to watch as the local indigenous people were busting a few moves; so hard one guy got arrested. 
Betty and Bruce (Nic’s parents) left today (Friday) to Litchfield Nat Park; We had a lazy day exploring Palmerston (a popular suburb of Darwin) and the new free water park the NT Government installed for the community (absolutely fabulous for families and free of charge!!!); did a bit of shopping and had a very lazy day....(much needed though)
