Before leaving Douglas River we walked around the hot spring area. Very hot water from springs and a creek joins the cool water of the Douglas River. People find a "just right temperature" area and enjoy wallowing in it. The warm water encourages the growth of bright green algae.
The usual burning off is in full swing in the north, with smokey skies and kites chasing the insects emerging from the flames. At the entrance to Darwin we were confronted with a wall of flames and smoke.
After settling into Lee Point Caravan Park we headed out to Mindil Beach for the night market. We bought our meal from the stalls and then sat on the beach to watch the sunset as we ate it.
Some clever person had created a sand model of a dragon, complete with fire in its nostrils.
The smokey conditions enhanced the red sunset.
