Hot again, will be 40+ in the afternoon so left early! stopped at Humpty Doo, yes that is the name of the small village, then on to Howard Springs about twenty Km out of Darwin where we will stay for the next three days. Have to get a hair cut and Albert has to have his cut also.

Drove into Darwin, very easy , Stuart Highway goes straight into town and all the streets in the downtown area run off that. Frond a all day parking place and just wandered around for the day.
The downtown area is mainly just small trendy shops, coffee shops and resturants mainly for tourists and right now it is the very end of the season.
Sept. 30, 2014.
Going to see the Orchid garden today then back to the park to get the laundry off the line as I did it early. We appear to be the only tourists in the park the others are camped here because the are working in the area, and because the rents are so high they stay in there caravans at the park so there are about fifty permanent residences.
Took photos of the Adelaide River and the big crock but somehow deleted them so do not have recent photos so will use some from last visit.
Tomorrow headed out to Litchfield early will try and beat the heat as it is said to be warmer tomorrow.
