All righty then, another day of travel. No dramas what so ever today as Qantas bumped me into a Business Class seat on both flights - there is a travel God after all.

I go into Australia's northern-most city - Darwin, by mid-afternoon and was met by Fluxy and Jack Crosby. The boys wheeled me off into the Palmerston Tavern, as apparently I looked a bit parched. Be Happy

From there it would be on to Jack & Sue's place in Virginia, where we'd be parking up for a couple of days.
