- It's around a 30 minute walk down a hill to
the marina. So we suggets a cab if you aren't
into walking. Whatever

It is truely
a beautiful marina. Starting from Mitchell Street

front of you and next to that is Mindel Beach.

Cullen Bay Marina
- The road down to the Marina is called Marina
Boularvard Cullen Bay.
A
gradual incline walk from the Marina to the Smith

To drive it took us 2 minutes to the top of the
hill to the first roundabout pictured here on
the left.

Cullen Bay Marina
in Darwin - commercial strip resembles more of
Nasau in the Bahamas.
Built actually
around the time I first came to Darwin in 1988
it has the lifestyle any southerner would sell
up for. Some of Darwin's most recognized and fequented
cafes and restaurants are situated here such as
Yots, The Boatshed and Buzz Cafe. .

right.
