We wandered around the downtown, logically, from where we were dropped off, in the center of the pedestrian mall. Most everyone we met today apologised for the weather, from the people in the shop where Tubby finished his shopping, the hotel/resort people, even this old guy who was talking about the saving powers of Jesus. The climate is also quite similar to the tropical feeling we had in Darwin.

Dead center of the mall is Hides Corner on one side, and the museum on the other.	Walking along the path to the ocean, we end up in a public pool that's just too cute for words.	It's either really low tide, or someone pulled the plug; the water line is quite low right now.
This building looked all old and important, even like a "wharf", but in fact it's the bus terminal.	They don't have army surplus stores here -- it's "army disposal" - but the stuff's all the same.	As we waited for the ride back, we snapped a photo of Hides Corner with the evening twilight behind it.
