Mindil Beach Markets

The Mindil Beach Markets attract large crowds on a Thursday evening with exotic asian food, aboriginal art, local crafts and live music entertainment for all.

Here you can book tours to see jumping crocodiles, organise a barramundi fishing safari or decide which of the cruises on Darwin Harbour is most enticing.

If you are staying in the CBD, the markets are a pleasant walk away, past the botanic gardens or down past the casino.

The #4 bus from Casuarina or the city is another option if you'd rather not walk. And there is plenty of parking if you are driving.
