The yearly bath for a group of the onboard kids....poor buggers! Clarence, Bunny and Ted all had to hang around for a few days to dry out...ah the humidity!!!
Darwin has just opened a Wave Pool. This pool has 25 wave types and is a big hit with the locals and visitors alike....just $8 a day, or you can swim on a man made beach and watch for nothing....no crocs or stingers here!!!
Graham (see friends on last post) has progressed from vintage cars to vintage warbirds. We had the fantastic opportunity to go out and see his Corsair and he kindly invited Bassie along (he was up in Darwin for the week). This plane was in service up until the Korean War and there are very few restored and flying examples in the world.
The project has already been 13 years long, and the detail restoration is unbelievable....the time frame is still 2/3 years to go, with the propeller and engine due to arrive in Darwin sometime in August/September.
Nobby, the guy doing the restoration, also kept crocodiles....this little fellow died some time ago...so Nobby froze him...cute but cold!! You can buy these critters for about $250 each, when they get to 60 centimeters they are not allowed to be kept as pets...but they will not take them back.....wonder what they do with them...only in Darwin!! Thanks Graham, much appreciated.
