Darwin Mall
Darwin Mall will always be the heart of Darwin. Even though most retailing and industry have relocated, Smith St Mall is the Tourist Centre and original CBD.
Site of the Victoria Hotel, the original theatre and the early commercial centre of Darwin, The Mall has undergone several facelifts as the city changed and modern retail shopping centres developed in the suburbs.
Modern Pedestrian Mall with newly transplanted Palm Trees
Much of the mall was rebuilt during 2010 to provide a more usable and attractive pedestrian experience for visitors and shoppers. As the above photo shows, older trees were replaced with smaller palms, which are still being supported while they grow into place.

To use the wireless internet, the community simply have to click on the connection labelled Darwin City Council to view the terms and conditions. Once accepted one hour of free wireless internet is activated and can be repeated every six hours.
Raintree Park, Cnr Knuckey St & Mall
Raintree Park provides an attractive inner city open space and is often used for community functions.
The two massive trees and extended awnimgs provide a pleasant setting for local office workers and visitors to enjoy a lunch time break or relax in the shade.
The mall is a show case for many of the special procucts of the Northern Territory. Aboriginal arts and crafts, pearls from the NT's pristine tropical waters, crocodile skin handbags from local crocodile farms and other unique souvenirs of Northern Australia are all on display here.
Darwin CBD is not a large city area so the mall is only a five or ten minute walk from many of the main hotels along the Darwin Esplanade
