Day 40: Darwin (Day 4)

This morning we had a quiet one around camp before heading into the Darwin Waterfront. Our first stop was lunch on Stokes Hill Wharf followed by a visit to the Royal Flying Doctor Service Tourist Facility. They had a display on the bombing of Darwin Wharf during WWII and on the Flying Doctor history. There were lots of VR displays, which the kids really enjoyed. We all learned a lot about the war and the Service!

Next stop was the wave pool at the Darwin Waterfront. We spent a few hours floating in the waves then headed over to Mindil markets for dinner and the sunset. We all picked our dinner from the various food trucks and wandered through the market, where the kids got a grain of rice with their names written on it. After getting a round of slushies we headed down to the beach to watch the sunset. It was very, very busy so we walked down to a quieter end to watch the sun drop into the water.
