April 27 Day 13 of trip
Exploring Darwin, especially the military side of the city. Certainly changed since my last visit in 1965. No chance to visit Mindil Beach sunset markets as they were cancelled due to rain.
14/16 Family history
While my car was in for service, I walked down to the Maritime Museum. Read a thesis on whaling written in 1989 with lots of sources and an index of people. My great great grandfather was in the list. So I read about him and wrote down sources to find at the state archives. Had lunch while walking to the archives (uphill) then four hours checking microfilms. Found a log book written about a whaling voyage where my relative was commander of the ship. Allowed to take digital copy of all 80 pages of the log. Will read once I get more time.
