The Dry

The 'dry season' is here which means the weather has finally changed. It is still 31-33 degrees every day, but not so humid, and even the odd breeze makes being outside pleasant, rather than horrid.

The change in the weather has meant that we have started to enjoy some outside activities. Today K and I went for a little cruise on the Darwin harbour - on a bus/boat that drives on the road then enters the water.





 K was the only kid on board and the lady offered to let K drive the boat - of course our shy child refused, though was happy to sit up the front and observe.







We have been visiting the Territory Wildlife Park, which is a great way to get some exercise in this nice weather. It is a huge nature based park with different landscapes to walk through and some local inhabitants.





 




K says the crocodile is looking at her.

 
The park has a terrific bird show with some very well trained local birds.






 
The nicer weather has also meant that a trip to the park is far more enjoyable.
 





 
This time of the year is definitely the time to live in Darwin. We have officially forgotten what it is like to be cold. Mum wears a shirt and skirt to work at 4am and still needs to turn the air con on.
 
K sends her love to everyone. She talks about her family and friends often.
