Daly Waters Pub

This morning we left Mataranka Homestead in plenty of time to arrive at the Historic Daly Waters Pub for lunch.


Daly Waters is famous for having the Northern Territory's oldest pub and Australia's first international airport.  It is pretty remote - being 600 kms south of Darwin, 900 kms north of Alice Springs and 400 kms north of Tennant Creek.  People flock here in their thousands, however, to wander through this famous pub, with its unique memorabilia and amazing array of artefacts.


We did just this ourselves, icy cold beer in hand, marvelling at Australia's original thong tree, and enjoying a hearty barra burger.

We continued our journey until we ran out of daylight.  A big travel day today - we passed the time with times tables, spellings quizzes, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on audio book and some out loud reading of Roald Dahl's "The Witches".
