Darwin/Arafura Games

[HLC]

Gday Guys,

im heading up to Darwin on Friday for sport and staying until thursday.

now i only have one or 2 days to do anything but a whole heap of nights to get out on the town.

what is worth seeing, what is not? i've heard about TOT's. cant remember what bar/pub/club it was at but so i think ill be heading there when i remember, but what else is good for a young fella?

cheers.

Mitchell Street is the main street where pubs and clubs are. I dont know what you like but the doof doof music is at Discovery nightclub. Some pubs to look out for are Shenanigans and topend hotel (not sure what they're called now maybe lizzards, they are on the corner of mitchell and daly street).

For shopping you can go to Casuarina shopping square, its a 20 min bus ride away from the city but its the biggest shopping centre up there.

NAMSC is a car club that gets involved in racing at hidden valley and motorkhanas. http://www.namsc.org.au/ They have a motorkhana out at hughes airstrip this sunday, go and see that its fun. Skylines to minis to V8s knocking down witches hats and doing skids! its a fair distance from darwin city though, bout 1hour drive south, but a good trip.

Crocodylis cove is on mitchell street, a touristy place where you can see crocodiles.

Just a few things you might be interested in.

TOT is at Discovery, Honey Pot isn't too bad. Crocodylis Cove is meh. if its shopping/escaping the heat you want then Casuarina shopping centre is the place to go.
Mindil beach market is on sunday night is an alright way to waste some time. other than that Shags and the VIC and the Casino are the way to go

Beauty cheers. i have a hire car up there, a Corolla, but also get free public transport as an Arafura Games competitor as long as i have my ID so getting home from the pub should be alright


Love to go sus out the car club, but sunday is my first day of competing. Although the venue im at is about 40kays south of the CBD so maybe the air strip is close and i can pop in after the day finishes?







Bourney, nah heading up for the IPSC Australia National Handgun Championships lol

this is what i do lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roY9N-LJ_uY i just uploaded a compilation vid of me too. its "processing" on youtube at the moment lol. the best fun you will ever have.

Isnt it at the Lost Arc (in front of discovery?)? Does that place still exist?
