Day 151
We head into the city to do some sightseeing and first stop is the WW2 oil tunnels which were built to contain and preserve the oil and so the Japs couldn’t bomb the outside oil tanks and devastate the valuable fuel supplies. Some interesting photos and stories in the tunnels. Next was a tour of Parliament House lasting about 1 and half hours and gave us an insight into the relatively very young governing centre of NT. The afternoon was spent in the city before heading back to the CP. Back at the CP and Carole and Les and Carole's mum June and hubby John have arrived in the park to stay. Rueben the Crocodylus Park guy is here at the park for his weekly chat and June is thrilled!!! to be able to hold our pet fang for her photo opportunity.
