11th August

This morning we left Wangi Falls and headed for Darwin via Berry Springs Nature Park and Springs .This is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, and you can see why. The park features two large spring-fed pools and a small waterfall fringed by pandanus and monsoon rainforest. The water here is crystal clear and there were many fish in these springs.

We had  morning tea and headed for Free Spirit Caravan Park at Palmerston, what a beautiful oasis in busy suburbia s We settled surrounded by palm trees has three camp kitchens and pools and the main pool has a bar and restaurant close by.

12th........Sunday we went to tour the WW11 Storage Tunnels in Darwin in the Harbour region. These Tunnels were constructed to protect the Navy's oil supplies from bombardment during WW11. The five steel-lined tunnels extend from the Wharf and run under the city. The only tunnel open to the public these days is tunnel 5 and along the walls are tales of the war years in Darwin and view a fascinating display of historic photographic images of wartime activity in Darwin and around the Top End. 

We had a look at the Wave Lagoon and strolled around the Waterfront Precinct and had lunch in the Irish Restaurant "The Fiddlers Green.

13th.............Today we visited Crocodylus Park& Zoo and were there for first feeding at 10.00am. This park was built on 30 years of research and conservation, the parks hosts over 10,000 crocodiles from hatchlings to adults of up to 5 meters. We were able to hold a baby croc and took photos, Graeme also fed one of the crocs. The park also features , big cats, primates, giant lizards and a world-class crocodile museum. It was well worth the entry fee.
