DANES BIRTHDAY -Travel Tennant Creek(TC) to Daly Waters Lounge(????Pub)(DWL) (4473 km to 4864 km). Refuse to call it a Pub after being told to be quiet at least twice by retired brigade whilst sitting at a table catching up with camping neighbours from Port Douglas 1994. Only 4 beers and I would be quieter than 70 % of people I know, so don t go there expecting the pub atmosphere(I've been to a lot of pubs all over OZ in my time.) but food is good and lots of stuff on walls,roof etc. Dane had a good day and dinner even with fair bit of driving. CADES DIARY It was my brothers 5th Birthday and he got a Razor Pro Scooter, Hot Wheels watch and a DSi. For dinner we went to the Daly Waters Pub ... read more
