NORTHING DAY20 - TUESDAY 19 JUNE 2018

SOUTH AND WEST -

BERRY SPRINGS, MANDORAH, WAGAIT BEACH, DUNDEE BEACH

We find that we have stopped for our first night on the homeward trip at a place that has Telstra mobile service so here is another post - done sitting in the evening by our swag.

Mandorah from Darwin by ferry is about 15 minutes. By road it is over 100 kms. We decided that we wanted to see what the country was like so  here we are on our first night homewards at Dundee Beach.

A commercial bamboo crop at Berry Springs.

Fresh regrowth on cycads after an early seasonal burnoff.

Pandanus fruit.

Wreckage of a USA Liberator named "Milady" - based in Australia during much of WW2. The wreck is preserved and documented as a tribute - a longish walk or rough ride out into the scrub.

Mandorah is  not much more than the jetty that services the Wagait Beach area. A zoom shot by Beth of Darwin across the bay.

On the beachfront at Dundee Beach ...
... and a welcome drink at the local.
Recreational fishing is big here.
