Having said goodbye to Maggie yesterday we set off today in our quest to complete our half lap of Australia. Our destination was the small town of Pine Creek some 220 km south of Darwin. Along the way we stopped at the Adelaide River War Memorial and cemetery. Quite a sobering experience to contemplate how close the Japanese amy have come to invade Australia vie our northern borders. Pine Creek was home to a lovely array of birdlife and bats and found the camping ground attached to the local service station to be excellent value at $20 per night power and water. This being our last stop before Western Australia we were began to eat as much of our fruit and vegetables as possible given that we would in all likelihood have to dispose of excess at the border.
