Up early this morning at 4.30am to get ready for the Anzac Day Dawn Service. As it very popular, all the flyers said to arrive at 5.30am for a 6.00am service. We got there about 5.20am and the park was filling up then. I have never seen so many people at a Dawn Service.
We headed back to our unit at about 7.30am after a little walk along the Esplanade to have breakfast and as we have both been working big hours at work leading up to holidays, we both had about a 2 hour nap!
We headed off to Woolworths to get a hot chook for lunch and some scotch premix drinks to enjoy. I haven’t had to show my id for alcohol service in a number of years and I am clearly over 18 years of age, but it must be a Territory law that everyone needs to show it.
Back at the unit to enjoy a yummy chicken and salad sandwich before heading out to tour the WWII Oil Tunnels only to get to the tunnels to find them closed for the day. Will head there tomorrow. We then walked along the Waterfront and enjoyed a beverage at Stokes Hill Wharf while watch a ship being tugged out to sea. Such a relaxing afternoon.
Back to our unit to cool down, we aren’t used to holidaying in the heat, we are used to putting layer upon layer upon layer on and walking in -10 onwards temps 😂
Then it was time to enjoy yet another top end sunset to end another spectacular day.Read more
