Today we had to see if Darwin Jayco had a spare wheel the same size as ours. They had the right size wheel. We are going to pick it up tomorrow after we check if it is the right size. On the way in there were people waiting on the side of the road so we asked what it was. It was the V8’s coming through on trucks. We watched it but all you could see were trucks not the cars. . We then went to the war museum. It had things from the bombing in Darwin in WWll. It had a fake little wooden cannon that in the war they were used to trick the enemy flying over. The enemy would think they are real and that Darwin was better defended than it really was. We watched this little movie type thing about the war and the bombing of Darwin. Next we went to a different museum that had a part about cyclone Tracy. There was this room that you go in and it is like you are in the cyclone because it is dark and there is the sound of a cyclone. There were also bits of rooms from war time, just before the cyclone and just after the cyclone. Then we went to the Mindil Market for dinner. It was packed. First we had a look at the stalls then had a look at the sun set on the beach. It was nice. We then got some dinner and had it before going home.

Do you know what the thing in the 2nd photo is? Clue – it was used in WWll. The answer will be in the next blog. ;
