Darwin 5

Sunday
Another day, another market. This one is at Nightclif and we remembered it to have been a bit better than the other at Parap. I have to admit however that i fell at the first hurdle, so i bought a book on overland telegraph in WA and retired to a coffee table.

Judy finally had her fill of skirts / tops /shorts / sarongs and we had a coffe and cake before returning to the van. I don't know how she does it. There are tent after tent after tend of these things and they all look the same to me, but Judy can winkle out the best one from the rest, even if it takes some doing.

After lunch we paid a return visit to Aquascene where you get to feed the 'wild' fish that come in every day at high tide to be fed on stale bread. Today we had the normal millions of mullet and squadrons of milkfish and a herd of catfish, but no batfish. The uge groper and a huge rockcod came in for a sniff about but still no batfish. We were just about to leave when the cry went up, 'They're here!' And so they were, about seven of them came in and stuck themselves up above the surface to be hand fed. They are about 40cm across, perfectly round and perfectly flat. And cute, if you like cuteness in the piscine world.

Too early for dinner, toolate to go back, we opted to wander about the bars and cafes of the Cullen Bay Marina and in time found ourselves partaking of the $20 all you can eat Sunday roast, which was delicious. I had lamb and Judy had the turkey and we washed it down with a bottle of bubbles to boot.

Snap of the day here but more snaps added to the Dawrin 2013 link over there------->

Along came some ducklings, one, two, three. Snap: Judy
