Do you know what is special about Darwin Sunsets.

The special natural event at our sunsets is the time it takes for the sun to set after it first touches the water. Now we know but we will leave it for you to witnmess and won'e spoil the surprise.

Around 20 minutes before sunset the folks make there way through the sand dune pathway (right) to the beach and stand or site with the 100's of cameras at the ready for one of the most amazing sunsets they will ever witness.

Oh that crocodile question. I have lived here for 20 years and I have never seen one in the harbour.

Getting There: The markets are located within a 15-20 walk from the city.

Shuttle buses (like a taxi that is a small minvan that seats upto 12 people) pick up at a regular basis from major hotels. A taxi from the city will cost approx $10.00 Public buses connect the markets to the City and Northern Suburbs.
