Sunday, 27th June
A cooler night, with the temperature dropping to 21 degrees, however today was the usual 33 with thick smoke blanketing the sky this afternoon.
The man of the caravan decided to be the envy of all the residents within smelling distance this morning and cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast on the “patio.” The Sunday paper was a fairly quick read, being much smaller than the Saturday edition, so we decided to check out the Nightcliffe Market. This was much smaller, and not as crowded thank goodness, as the Mindal Market, although a large number of the stalls did seem rather familiar! Today, there were also a number of fresh fruit/vegetables stalls, as well as some books. We spent a very enjoyable hour or so in the shade, poking about the different stalls.
This afternoon we worked out our itinerary for the next ten nights after we leave Darwin and made some telephone calls to make sure we could get a site. Kakadu wasn’t a problem, we even booked a Yellow Waters cruise at the same time (and don’t have to pay for it until we get there!) and Katherine, also wasn’t a problem. I could book Kununurra over the internet (and pay in full now), but the Ivanhoe Caravan Park refused to take a booking over the phone – turn up and hope there is a site available, was the comment. Not much else we can do!
Cat made the acquaintance today of Norman Gnome, who happens to reside in the next door caravan and comes from Adelaide. They hit it off straight away!!!

Love the smile on cat's face. She's definitely a girl. Or has she heard the navy is in town?
