Darwinism

The sun seems 

 bigger then ever in Darwin. Sun setting over the Darwin airport.

The Sat/Sunday market culture in Darwin is excellent.  The indonesian influence is seen in the variety of foods and crafts.  Mango Lassi and sugar cane sticks quickly became a favorite for the J and C along with Fried coconut and bananna fritters..

Noodle goes croc hunting at Gunn Point

Leader Creek- one of those fun- off the beaten path places. Nothing there but a boat ramp, lots of flies, and a grubby kiosk with a collage of photos of fishermen and their huge barramundi  plastered to the window. And toothless Chris-The Lord of the Ramp,collects the ramp fees and then goes back to decorating mud crab remains with beer cans and cigarettes. (below)

That is Chris- Lord of the Ramp

The crowds of tourists flock to the beach on Thurs and Sundays for the evening Mandile Market. With wine and food in hand the sunset is a draw card. Great market, excellent Indonesian food stalls, and the sunsets here are unsurpassed.

Another day done and dusted on the top end of Australia. Time to move on.
