I know its been a while since I sent you all some news. I have been reasonably busy- still no excuse.
This was a plane leaving Melbourne into a fog over the city.....just at sundown......I had a trip back home, which is always exciting. It was great to catch up with my precious family- they are a little more scattered than they have been. I was able to catch up with a dear friend in Timaru- I don't think we stopped talking for 2 days.
As my previous blog said I spent some time in Darwin.
This is across the bay looking towards Darwin city.
We spent a lot of time walking around the harbour/wharf area.The wharf has a great area that includes a selection of seafood .It is superb, and so fresh. One can then sit beside sea and enjoy.
This sign took my eye !!!!!
Coming back from Kakadu, I was driving and by the rear vision mirror, was watching this storm brewing behind us. The sky was navy blue, and the noise was amazing.
We kept ahead of it for a while.I had to stop of course, and took these 2 images. By now the noise was deafening. We decided that staying in front was a good move. So we headed back towards Darwin, only to get caught in the edge of it. I have driven in West Coast rain, but this was something so frightening.The road was awash, I was fortuneately behind a bus so could just follow him.An interesting experience. Later that evening warnings were on TV that there was a severe storm about to hit Darwin. We already knew!!!!!!I know there a many I didn't get time to contact when I was home. I am sorry, I will be back late Oct/Nov.
Take care all of you, and do keep warm. I hear the frosts are coming......
