ENDLESS VACATION 21
Darwin may not be a huge place or come to mind as readily as Sydney
or Melbourne, but its charm and
rich history belies its size. It is said everything in Darwin is 20 minutes away, with plenty to offer the traveller. Sail across the harbour to the Tiwi islands, and frolic under a waterfall in Litchfield National Park. Or simply, catch an old-time classic under the stars at the Deckchair Cinema.
MAGICAL MARKETS
Sample Darwin’s cosmopolitan mix of over 50 nationalities from its colourful markets held throughout the dry season. Savour a true melting pot of international cuisine from over 60 food stalls at the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets – think Brazilian, Sri Lankan, Greek, Cambodian, Japanese and more. Every Sunday and Thursday night, crowds gather to watch the talented buskers perform their magic to a breathtaking sunset sky. Don’t forget to pick up a couple of handcrafted trinkets from the 130 craft vendors as you wind through the palm lined alleys of the market. (mindil.com.au)
UNDER THE STARS
Catch your favourite classic or discover
a new indie film at the novel Deckchair Cinema on Darwin Harbour. Arrive early to enjoy the changing colours of the sunset from the comfort of your deck chairs. Gates open nightly at 6:30pm for the 7:30pm screening, seven nights a week from mid April to mid November. Expect the company of a possum or two, if you’re lucky. A licensed kiosk provides the food and drinks you will need to accompany your flick, so all you will need to bring is
an open mind, and some good company.
