Well it's Lunar New Year today and as usual I've decided not to write lots but just to say it with pictures. So here goes.
 |
| Went back for a quick visit to the Crocosaurus cove, this is a place in Darwin's downtown area that has Crocs in it. You would never know it when you walk by. Last year we went for the first time and because we live in the NT we can go back free for 1 year. So went back one last time. |
 |
| We had a monsoon trough show up and we had rain and windy days for almost 2 weeks. The back yard was a mess. It is the only time during one of these troughs that you actually see white caps on the bay that we face. Normally it's as flat as glass. One weird thing about Darwin is even though we are on the ocean there isn't much of a breaze. |
 |
| It was Australia Day in January and all I can say is boy some manufacturers a pretty patriotic. Here are some of the items that were on sale. We got the Cookies, Paper Towels, Tomato Sause and Kleenex. |
 |
| They also had a UTE rally (pickup trucks), they pay $5 drive thru the main street for many kms and have huge flags on their UTEs. It lasted for more than 1/2 an hour. It's probably just a Darwin thing but still it's great to see people that love their country. |
 |
| A friend of mine retired from work so we went to his retirement party the location is on Fanny Bay which is very beautiful. |
 |
| We visited the Territory Wildlife Park again and this time we saw an owl in the bird show. She was beautiful and she put on quite a show for everyone. |
 |
| Taken with L's super zoom camera. When it works it does a good job. |
 |
| A very big bird misnamed the Jabaru. |
 |
| Albino snake, boy was this sucker heavy. I can see the attraction people have to snakes. Not that I'm getting one. |
 |
| Trying out the furniture in 1 configuration. |
 |
| Pizza man or Pillow Boy. |
 |
| Enjoying Darwin life, not much else to do than sit outside under an umbrella in the hot weather reading a book. Actually not much indoor stuff gets done because from living in Canada we are so used to making the most of the good weather back home that when it's nice we go outside. I still haven't gotten over that feeling of having to be outside when the weather is nice. |
 |
| That grass hopper is really the size of my finger. |
 |
| To all our Asian friends that celebrate the Lunar New Year we wish you health and happiness. |
 |
| OK so the incense got a little to much. I guess I'm incen-sitive. |
 |
| Yup living the life in 3D, someones gotta do it. |
