Darwin - Shopping and Dining
Darwin shopping
Darwin offers visitors an opportunity to take home real Australian mementos. Its galleries specialise in authentic Aboriginal art, diamonds, opals and pearls. In the city centre, the Smith Street Mall has a range of specialty shops, while in the suburbs are the air-conditioned shopping centres of Casuarina Square, Karama Shopping Centre, Palmerston Shopping Centre and Palm City Oasis, all offering seven-day trading.
Darwin dining
The numerous markets, especially the Mindil Beach Sunset Market (April to October) are good places to shop and enjoy multicultural cuisine. Darwin has an amazing range of restaurants, cafés, pubs and bars, and, thanks to its cultural mix, can offer a choice of international cuisine unmatched by any other city its size. Popular alfresco dining precincts are Stokes Hill Wharf and Cullen Bay Marina.
