Frances
Bay in Port Darwin, and includes the western bank
of Sadgroves Creek. On
the left is a photo of the Duckpond is a photo
of the road leading to The Duckpond and Dinah
Beach Cruising Yacht Association on the right
of the The Duckpond.
At times up to
55 Prawn Trailers are docked here after returning
from the prawn Season. For these few weeks you
tend to go straight to the trawlers to buy fresh
seafood. They usually have a sign on the dock
in front of the boats selling seafood.
