on the road to Darwin, part 2!

One town we stayed at was Daly Waters which was really just a pub and a caravan park. The pub has been there since the 1930's when the area was used as an airstrip during the war. The pubs a little different now! and its famous for its Beef n Barra nights over the busy dry tourist season. There was also a country singer/comedian -a fun night..

We also stopped to look at an old drovers town called Newcastle Waters originally discovered by John Stuart where drovers could stop in for food and rest after weeks in the hot, lonely outback. The biggest drawcard though was the pub (nothing really changes!!) -the old fridge in the pub was funny! and there was also an old petrol pump you can see in the photo.. Most things were in there original state which made it reall interesting.
