8.05am and we are on the road to Darwin to stay for a
week. Looking forward to stopping and
catching up on some retail therapy as well as the Mindil Market etc. Managed to
find a C class road from Hayes Creek to Adelaide River which by passed the
Stuart Highway. Barry & I love
getting onto these back roads, lovely scenery and lots of wildlife. Wallaroos
everywhere and one little one propped in front of the car and made us come to a
complete stop before he would move. Also
spotted heaps of Red Tailed Black Cockatoos, wasn’t worth taking any pictures
as you can’t see the red tails until they actually take flight. Morning tea
break was at a beautiful little area approx. 20kms south of the turn back onto
the Stuart Highway at Adelaide River. Could
have easily camped there, lovely river and very picturesque. Some showers today but nothing much and seems
to have cooled down a little. Stopped at
Adelaide River to have a look at a very ordinary market, only about 5 stalls
and nothing worth buying. Hope our luck
changes when we start checking out all the Markets in Darwin. Arrived at FreeSpirit Caravan Park and set up camp.
Quite a heavy shower of rain just before dinner and feeling that tonight
is the coolest in quite a few days.
