On Sunday we went to the Museum & Art Gallery Northern Territory. This was a really great place to visit for the family. We learnt about Cyclone Tracey, reptiles, mammals, 'Sweetheart' a local five metre crocodile, local Indigenous people, early maritime history and lots of other things. Following the museum we headed to the Mindil Beach Sunset Market. This market is famous in Darwin and is held on Thursday and Sunday evenings. A must is to sit on the beach and watch the sun go down as it dips into the Arafura Sea.
Food is a big attraction at the market and you can choose between Thai, Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese, Malaysian, Brazilian, Greek or Portuguese to just a few. Other stalls consist of arts and crafts, handmade jewellery, natural remedies, artistic creations, hats and clothing.
Charlie again has the gift of the gab and somehow walked away from a stall with a really nice Zebra rock for free. The stall holder thought it would be a great start to his rock collection. He really blows us away with his ability to chat to people and how they warm to him. We also caught up with friends at the market, Erin & Mal and their three kids.
We arrived back at Alex and Jami's place that evening to find out they had got engaged in Kakadu over the weekend. So that was great news and we are very happy for them.
