Our new pet "Fang". Should fit nicely into our swimming pool at home!!Day 137
We decide on a game of golf in the competition at Palmerston and although it is quite warm (30 degrees) there is a little breeze and we are in a motorised cart so hope it’s not too bad. The course is 18holes with a newer nine surrounded by new housing estate and the other nine in an older area. The course needs a bit of money spent on it but I suppose with a fairly small population in Darwin and not a huge number of members they do ok. And they had grass on their greens so we were thrilled. We enjoy the game even though there are several noise interruptions from squadrons of Super Hornet jets flying overhead. Apparently there are bi-annual war games between US/Aussies and NZ taking place just off Darwin and the flights happen a few times a day. The noise didn’t worry Al though, coming out on top this time by one point and which should boost his morale a bit after a few losses on the trip over 4 different states. We drove into the city and managed to find a massage therapist and Al got his back straightened out before heading back to the CP where they had a rep. from Crocodylus Park who had brought along a small 1 metre/18 month old croc for us to hold. They named him “Fang” and I only agreed to get up close and personal due to the fact that his snout was firmly taped shut with gaffer tape!!
