Day 6 in Darwin - The Northern Territory Museum and Crocodylus Park

Darwin is in the Northern Territory. We first went to the Northern Territory Museum. WOW! It has probably the world's best collection of aboriginal art. I hope the delegates appreciated what they were seeing, I know I was in awe. Unfortunately for my memory and this blog, taking photographs was not allowed.

There was a display of Cyclone Tracy which absolutely destroyed the city in 1974. It flattened the town.

And then there was Sweetheart....a huge crocodile who kept trying to climb into people's boats...so now Sweetheart is stuffed and harms no one!


We also went to Crocodylus Park. We learned about Salties and Freshies...and fed HUGE saltwater crocodiles...and we all got to HOLD a crocodile .... of course many pictures were posted.

I can't wait to hear about your adventures, we're so proud of you! Give Christine a hug, and know we're sending you prayers and love! xoxo Mom
