Darwin - 1st Day Of Spring - 1st Vist

Marrara Gardens Caravan Park
We pulled into really strange caravan site , all the pitches had ensuite’s!, which actually worked in our favour , instead of tripping up over everything in the bus ,we could lock it away in the bathroom while we went on our supply shop.
The concrete slabs you park next to on your pitch radiate heat ,they are so hot you have to put a towel down to step out the bus. Hot as hell, stayed two nights just to get supplies.

We had learnt on the way up that it’s not only a smart idea to get a CB fitted but also get some recovery gear after getting stuck in a sand pit at bitter springs, which entailed a Radom bloke stopping and using his tracks to get us out!.

Darwin is your typical city , you can get everything , it has an international airport, obviously a harbour (leased to the Chinese) and on the outskirts of the city are the major brand retailers.
We didn’t know at this point we would be coming back to the hot box later in the trip.Read more
