Monday 9th June.
Believe it or not but this morning we discovered that only about 25 metres away from us on the other side of the shower block were our friends Wendy and Keith from Rye in Victoria.
We first met them here in 2004 and kept bumping into them as we travelled throughout Queensland after leaving Darwin on that occasion. We travelled together for some time and became quite good friends and have kept in touch each year with Christmas cards and letters etc.
On one of our visits to Melbourne we were in touch with them and visited them at their home in Rye. They come to Darwin most years for about 3-4 months to escape the winter months in Rye.
Keith is a retired auto electrician specialising in RV wiring and equipment and has now built two fifth wheeler Motorhomes. Their latest one which they have here is magnificent and towed by a Ford 250, V8 turbo diesel.
Neither of use could believe the coincidence of being so close together in this park considering that there are over 750 sites in total.
After watching the AFL on TV during the afternoon we joined Wendy and Keith with another couple Owen and Gail for drinks and nibbles under an adjacent shade shelter, many of which are scattered around the park.
Sounds like you're having a great time. Keep writing. Talk soon.
