Darwin - Day 4

On Sunday morning, we went for a lazy breakfast to a cafe at Cullen Bay. Read the newspaper for an hour or two, and then hopped on the ferry across to Mandurah Beach.

The ferry cost us $25 each return, which we thought was pricey. It turned out to be well worth the cost, however, as we spent the afternoon listening to one of the best bands we've heard in a long time. They didn't play a bad song - called "The Old School" - they played all our type of music. The two singers were amazing. The view wasn't half bad too! Glen went down the beach and "fished" for an hour or two ("fished" is in inverted commas, because he didn't catch anything!).

We couldn't resist heading off to The Water Ski Club for another spectacular sunset. We found yet another amazing band playing there - The Baker Brothers. Slightly different music - but just as good! We sat for another couple of hours and enjoyed a couple of beers and had dinner under the stars.

Sunset, beers and great music




The skies are these beautiful colours because there are quite a few controlled bush fires at the moment. This occurs just after the wet season, so the bush fires are very slow and containable, preventing serious bush fires later in the dry season from devastating everything in their path.

Can you blame us for going back a second time?? A very lazy Sunday comes to an end!
