Day 36 - Darwin Museum

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLEITH!!!!!

This morning was a bit crazy as we had the car booked in at 8am for a service, so Glen left at 7:30 and the kids and I caught the bus and met him in town a little later.  We had heard the museum was really good, so we decided to take the bus out there and have a look.  Well, it certainly was awesome, absolutely free and just captivating. All the animals we have seen in our travels were on display so we were able to identify them at last, and replace the weird and wonderful names Glen had given them all!!!!!  I thought the kids would be bored after 5 min, but we would have spent about 2 hours there and they were engaged the whole time.  There was a fantastic display of Cyclone Tracy and the devastation that it inflicted.  It made us think about the poor people in Queensland earlier in the year, at least there weren't as many lives lost in more recent events.

Glen and the kids went to pick up the car and I couldn't resist any longer ........ I caught the next bus to the biggest shopping centre I could find!!!!.  I was feeling a little weak after 5 weeks without shopping, enough was enough!!!!!, so after a couple of hours of solitary shopping, I was quite energized, however, another 60 odd hours wouldn't have gone astray, but hey........you have to take what you can get!!!!!!

The kids had a great afternoon at the pool and Glen and I made plans for the next few days in Kakadu.  May not have service there, so until we get service again, stay safe.
