Day 140
Al and I are playing golf at Darwin Golf Club today in the competition with a couple of locals. The day was warm the golf was up and down and the company pleasant. We enjoyed a swim in the CP pool after to cool off before getting ready to go on our sunset cruise. We got to the wharf at Cullen Bay and boarded the Anniki which is a restored pearling lugger with about 30 other passengers. Before we could set sail and due to the tides we had to motor into a lock so we could get out to the Darwin Harbour. Anniki has another claim to fame besides having us aboard.... it was the boat which was used in the “Australia” film to take the boys to fictitious “Mission Island”. We were half expecting.....hoping anyway, that Hugh Jackman would serve our champagne and nibbles but that was not to be so we enjoyed the champagne anyway and an amazing sunset over the lovely Darwin Harbour arriving back about 8pm and in time for a quick fish and chips dinner back at Stokes Hill Wharf where we had eaten a few nights ago.
