It's the first day of summer and we arrived in Darwin. It was HOT!
As we had to be back on board by 2 pm we did not have enough time to visit places outside Darwin so we spent the time strolling the city.
Our first stop was the Northern Territory Parliament, a beautiful building in a spectacular location. The building also houses the library and we were the first visitors to the exhibition to mark the 40th anniversary of Cyclone Tracey.
We strolled the arcades and shopping malls and visited St Mary's Cathedral with its stained glass windows and a large oil painting of Mary and the Christ Child as Australian Aborigines.
It was very hot but we walked the length of Bicentennial Park with its fish feeding area, wonderful old trees and overlooked by a row of modern hotels.
Will send photos if I can!

From the looks of the photos Alex will be happy if Santa never makes it into Sydney...
Glad you're having a good time even if hot - and enjoying the photos!
