| A sharp left turn!! |
Today we travelled north before taking a rather sharp left turn in the relatively narrow passage to head west as we rounded Cape York Peninsula, headed across the Gulf of Carpenteria towards Darwin.
One of the things that we often miss when traveling is news from home - it can be very difficult to get any Australian news when overseas. On the Dawn Princess we have started receiving a condensed version of ‘Australian Today’ in our ‘stateroom’ (I have been corrected - we live in a stateroom - not a cabin!!) every morning. In contains news from each state, sports results, stock market and weather updates. Another nice touch which is greatly appreciated - except when it reports that the Broncos lost!!

| Pool volleyball anyone? |
As we have travelled north, the temperature has continued to rise, meaning that more and more passengers are venturing outside to the pool deck - for fun and games in the sun and to get a dose of Vitamin D therapy!

| Sunday BBQ by the pool - yum!! |
Today’s lunch was an Aussie Sunday BBQ by the pool - a fabulous selection of steaks, pork and lamb chops, sausages, chicken fillet, salmon steaks, grilled prawns and grilled vegetables accompanied by salads, breads, and platters of fresh fruit - the prawns were plump, juicy and absolutely delicious - attested to by the man in front of me who took at least 3 dozen on a huge oval platter.... and then went back for more!!!
Trivia Question of the day?
