Darwin


DUCKABOUT

Our first day in Darwin was spent on the Duckabout bus/boat. This special vehicle can drive on the road and be driven in the water. We learnt lots of amazing things like the different buildings that were tough enough to survive cyclone Tracy to the horribly dangerous animals that live in darling harbour. I highly recommend all the things I mention in this post. 

MINDIL MARKETS

The next day we went to the incredible Mindil Markets. They were amazing! There were over 40 stalls and we stopped at almost each and every one of them. I bought a lovely sarong, a freezing snow cone and for dinner I had honey chicken and Asian noodles. Yum! Afterwards we went to watch the beautiful sunset on Mindil Beach We saw a director who looked like he was filming a documentary. There were truck loads of people there as well and I mean truck loads.

LITCHFIELD NATIONAL PARK

At Litchfield National Park we went to Buley Rock Holes and Florence Falls. Callam and I searched for things with our goggles but all we found were beer cans and bottle caps which as a shame especially because it was a national park. Although we did find a headband. We also did some amazing 'Go Pro' action at Florence Falls. At Buley Rock Holes the water fell down so fast it was like a spa!

CROCOSAURUS COVE

We went to into town to visit crocosaurus cove. It was awesome! When we got there we did the fish feeding. There were mostly rays, swordfish and barra in the tank  but a few other ones were there to. after that we went to have a look at the big croc feed. It was amazing I even got to feed a baby croc and hold one. they were so cute. Then we went to the reptile enclosure. We got there just in time for the feeding. I got to see a snake eat a rat, hold two lizards and a snake. Did you know that crocodiles have s3400 pounds of bite pressure and we only have 20?

  3. Great stuff Marley. I remember going to that Croc place. Those little crocs are so cute. Hard to believe they grow up so dangerous when they are that tiny. Did you know though that if they get a fright or are traumatised they stop growing? Thats what I've been told anyway. They are fascinating, just glad we dont have them in Canberra!
    Lots of love
