Posting Out

We came to Darwin because the Navy thought it would be a good idea.

And it was!

Darwin has been a genuine surprise.

HMAS Coonawarra and Patrol Boat Head Quarters…in the finest traditions of the RAN.

Darwin, a large country town with city services and aspirations. 

Scenery, worthy of inclusion in a million postcards.

Friendly, laid back people. 

Weather that is (mostly) amazing.

NT politics that makes Ryde Council (no offence Jerome) look honest, sensible, organised and professional.

Great markets.

Darwin’s 97seven, a budget radio station with a big heart.

The last frontier.

So blessed to have lived at Myilly Point enjoying sunrise across the city and sunset across Mindil Beach (and every day and night in between).  

And of course the NT News- we’ll miss the daily croc story.

We are leaving Darwin because the Navy has another adventure in store.

Now, home to Sydney, with a little time to explore along the way.

And a new addition to the family

Matilda- a 1984 Jayco Finch, home for the next couple of weeks.

So a new blog….

Walzing Matilda, as we return from the Never Never.
