We spent most of our time in Darwin sorting the car. We ate out a fair bit and enjoyed the wharf and the fish feeding! We also went to an open air Christmas Carol concert near the beach which had lots of singing along and amazing fireworks. Then we were back on the train, The Ghan this time to travel from Darwin to Sydney.
It's such fun travelling on these trains, seeing the changing landscapes. I must have been a train spotter in a previous life!!
The train stopped in Alice Springs for a few hours. We squeezed in a lush brekkie, walking tour and a brief walk up Anzac Hill. I love the gap in the distance formed by a river many years ago:
We would have liked to stop off for a few days in Alice to go to The Big Rock, but alas not possible this time with the quiet season's reduced rail timetable. Next time....
The route involved a four day stopover in Adelaide. We found Desiree's place on AirBnB and what a gem! She was an ace host along with a great random bunch of people staying in her home, including a celebrity TV chef from Malaysia! Too much fun each night!! We took in some sights and sounds of Adelaide, including museum, art gallery and a nice botanical gardens which is well kept and free for the public. Lucky public!
