Day 45 - Darwin

Day 44 - Thursday - 2/7/2026

Today we went to the mall in Darwin where I had some Chinese food for lunch. We bought some supplies and then went to the Mindel Beach markets where we bought some stuff, walked to the lookout and I also shared a Hawaiian pizza with my mom for dinner while we watched the sunset on the beach.

For dessert we also bought some delicious poffertjes which are like mini pancakes.

Day 45 - Friday - 3/7/2026

Today i woke up early with my brother Seb so we could go with my dad to drop Auntie Kathie of for her day tour of Kakadu. Once we dropped Kathie off, we went to Charles Darwin National Park to look at some birds. It was a bit disappointing though because the walk didn't even go into the mangroves even though they were right there. At the end we went to a lookout where we got some pretty good views of the city centre.

On the drive back home, we stopped at what we thought were some WW2 bomb shelters that you could go into, it turns out that they were actually secret bomb storage facilities from WW2.

Then everybody went to the Darwin waterfront where we had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. After that we went to the Convention Centre where we looked at Brickman's Lego Wonders of the World were Brickman from Lego Masters and his team created some huge wonders of the world out of Lego like the pyramids, Himeji Castle, and the Empire State Building. Some of the builds had over 30 thousand bricks in them!
