4T - our Jodes


Yes!  She's that number - fabulous, fantastic, fit  and full of life!

Vicky, her girlfriend and Jodes, both had same age birthdays and so chose a dual celebration.


They selected a great venue - on the water.  A sailing vessel named Cape Adieu which took fifty revellers out onto Darwin Harbour for a magic sunset cruise.

 The vessel was pretty large with plenty of room for people to mingle and move about.  The shade cloth is mandatory for the Darwin weather.

Mature guests were in the minority but  we sought refuge up the back of the boat where we could talk and hear one another.  Amidst the Oyster Shooters, Bubbly, beer and yummy finger food it was an extremely pleasant time.  The 'younger' set hit town afterwards and we thought if we were 20 years younger we might have done the same thing!


The Darwin has sunset never failed to amaze, just a brilliant spectacle.


Dave and I stayed in Darwin for a week (would have been longer if it was in the dry season).  We stayed at Keith and Anna's joint down the Stuart Highway at Coolalinga.  

It was school holidays so we were able to get and do a couple of things with the kids.

The good old Water Gardens at Rapid Creek, an oasis amongst beautiful tropical gardens, is great to hangout when you're weary of air con.




Fountains, waterfalls are always popular in the heat.  The boys enjoying themselves.


Tenpin bowling is always a big hit for youngsters and especially by boys who love to smash things!

There's a new joint called Kingpin in Millner whereby you can spend a fortune playing tenpin bowling, laser games, climbing ropes, a games arcade and also to eat and drink - great if you are a kid with grandparents in town.

Excited bowlers!

Kai with the aid of the ramp was able to beat his big brother.  I thought he had a very distinctive bowling style.

It was a good time guys.
