Had a great time this evening. Headed off to the iconic Mindil Beach Night Markets for fantastic Indonesian food, some live music and a beautiful sunset. It seems I arrived in Darwin just in time as this was the last market before the wet season. The weather was perfect for sitting on the beach watching the sun go down: clear skies and just a slight tropical feel to the air.
I wandered the stalls sipping some mango lassi (not as good as India but, you know, didn't expect it to be) and then bought some rendang before heading down to the beach (along with everyone else) until the sun had dipped below the horizon.
After dark the markets were really pumping, full of tourists but also locals out for their last market experience until May next year.
Well, that's item number 1 on my 'sights of Darwin' checklist done. Next stop: fish feeding at Aquascene and then a trip to Katherine Gorge.
