Drew and I treated ourselves to an extravagant supper at Barnacle Bills right on the Esplanade. Almost $100! We tried an Australian sampler of kangaroo, crocodile and barramundie, and also a seafood platter of scallops, prawns & white fish. The kangaroo was awesome, like very tender beef, very flavorful. We'll definitely be having more of that! The crocodile was pretty bland, it was kind of like a tough chicken. It would be very good marinated and grilled. The barramundie didn't taste fishy at all, kind of like a thick whitefish. It had a bit of a naturally salty flavour, pretty good.

We took a bit of a stroll along the esplanade, I was almost chilled! A nice change indeed from the Top End. We walked through the Night Market, which is pretty much like the International Markets in Honolulu, but with digeridoos and kangaroo products. Oh, and the t-shirts say 'Cairns' instead of 'Hawaii'.

We're just off to bed now, an early night again, thankfully! We're both bagged. Even with the three hour nap, it's been a very long day since 3:30 am. We actually get to sleep in, don't have to be down to the pier till 8am!!

Cheers,
Marie
