Our time in Darwin is coming to an end. The first week we finished some jobs on the boat, did some shopping, sightseeing and catching up with friends.
We hired a car and went to Kakadu National Park where we saw lots of cave paintings, fabulous views, birds and crocodiles; the latter we saw on a Wetlands cruise. We walked and swam in croc free pools in some rivers. We used our tent again, which was great.
Ewan and Jemima came over for a long weekend. They met some of our friends, joined in in some of the social events and we watched crocodiles jump in the Adelaide River and walked and swam in Litchfield National Park.
Now we are back at getting the boat ready; painting, provisioning etc as well as attending the social events of the Rally.
This is our last day in the marina, tomorrow we anchor in Fanny Bay and the Rally starts at 11 o'clock on Saturday. Indonesia here we come.

    Plenty of those warnings everywhere                                                A crocodile just about to go into the water
