There are nothing that stands out as good shots here, but here goes.
Last weekend I ended up at Wagait beach, the other side of Darwin harbour, and I stumbled across Malady. This is the wreckage of a B-24 that was based with the 380th bomb group at RAAF Darwin. This aircraft crashed on the 17th of January 1945 on a practice bombing mission killing the skeleton crew of five. The aircraft has been exposed the tropic's weather since then. Most of the aircraft has been removed, but sections remain.

All with a K3 and 16-50.
