Dry season arrives

Ahhh the 1st official day of the Dry Season, and boy you can notice the difference already, such lovely cool morning, with a nice breeze thrown in. You gotta love Darwin this is the 2nd long weekend in a row, how cool.
Today I went to east Point and walked back to Dads place via the George Brown Botanic Garden, they are very beautiful; I walked the rain forest loop which was quiet and cool. I scared a few Bush hens, and I seemed to have the whole gardens to myself, I did not see any other people. I stopped at the top of the waterfall and tried to spot a croc in the top pool! Ha ha you might laugh but they have pulled crocs out of the Gardens before. In fact from the beginning of this year they have caught 88 crocs in the Top end including our beaches, Palmerston, Duruk (a suburb in Palmerston) Rapid creek, Leanyer drain, and more so as you can see they have definitely infiltrated the suburbs! Anyway back to the Botanical Gardens, when I was young they had this really cool playground, with giant spider web domes to climb on and big slippery slides and this really cool yellow thing you sat and spun yourself around as fast as you could get it to go before you wanted to throw up, all gone, I could not find them anywhere, they have built a much smaller tamer playground for the little kids, hmm what about the big kids!
