At the right times of year enjoy the city with the locals. From April to September, enjoy a meal overlooking an amazing tropical sunset at the popular Mindil Beach Sunset Markets. The amazing selection of foods and arts and crafts are a testament to Darwin’s thriving multicultural population. The extremely popular Deckchair Cinema runs April through November and screens an eclectic range of Aussie & foreign films. Then in August the city’s eclectic Darwin Festival is a feast of food, art, culture, music, film, dance & theater.
Finally, whilst it’s imperative you get to grips with the cultural side of this remote city, it’s also pretty important that you relax into Darwin’s way of life and appreciate the areas natural beauty, too. Take a boat tour from the harbor, hire a bike for the day or just take a leisurely stroll through the center of this calm oasis. Just be sure to finish off with a drink by the water to watch the blood red sunset.
