Memorial to Glen Huitson in the park named after him at Adelaide River
Sunset at Dundee BeachDay 148
We head into Adelaide River and check out the lovely peaceful and well looked after war cemetery. We call into the little town where there is a park which is named in memory of Glen Huitson, our friend Lisa’s late husband who was killed on duty 10 years ago near here and from the many memorials to him was not only much loved by family and friends but also well respected in the community and NT police force. Alan and I are playing in a memorial golf Day in Darwin next week to mark the anniversary and will also attend a memorial service along with many family and friends who are travelling here to remember Glen. We head further north and turn off to the Cox Peninsula and Dundee Beach. There is a large caravan park here which ,after a couple of attempts by past owners to develop the land, not very successfully, the new owner has plans to get the cp on the tourist map to reap the rewards from the thousands of grey nomads. It has potential but needs a lot of work....and money. There is a lovely beach with palm trees lining the grassy foreshore and it looks like you could jump in and swim in the gorgeous azure water.....except for the croc warnings!!!! Not sure I could live in the northern part of OZ....give me Kingscliff Beach anytime!!! We enjoy a nice cold beer watching the sunset over the Timor Sea.
