Mitchell Street
located one street back from the The Esplanade
and one street over from the Smith Street Mall
in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Mitchell
Street is currently regarded by the locals as
our entertaiment district. Did you know around
the late 1980's the entertaiment district was
also covering Cavenagh Street and the Top End
of Mitchel Street.
Nowdays it is centred
around a 500m stretch of Mitchell Street in the
CBD. Mitchell Street is regarded as the nightlife
centre of Darwin with it's cinema's, sidwalk cafes,
open air sidwalk bar's, upmarket restaurant's,
5 Star hotels and quaint Irish, English oh yes
and Aussie pubs. We are proud to say Mitchell
Street is one our 'clean, proper and peaceful'
entertaining areas of Darwin for the friends,
groups, family or singles. Especially our own
Darwin Entertainment Centre.
This
photo's sums up Mitchell Street's flavour for
trend, style and old Darwin charm -The euorpean
vista bike outside of the sidewalk cafe nestled
in an old style Darwin building.

Safety: As
most of our clients we find are very responsible with
their movements then going out at night with your normal
guidleines for safe entertainment will apply. Yes there
are some altercations this generally happens at the
early hours of 4am in the morning when nightclubs close.
We are lucky that our council and local government leaders
such as the recently retired chief minister Clare Martin
have been paying particular attention to safety on the
streets. It was nice the other night to see Clare walking
Mitchell Street late at night with the Police Chief
inspecting police safety measures on the street. Well
done Clare we really respected that.
So to all our clients
just be sensible and take care. Suggestions -
Always as in any city, in any country be careful at
ATM machines, try to go with friends, don't leave your
drinks unattended, don't leave alone with people you
are unsure of and have just met, make sure you don't
walk back to your accommodation - get a taxi or walk
back earlier in the evening.
Police: We maybe
are biased but we feel the local police are the friendliest
we have ever known around the world. As travel agents
we have seen more countries than the entries we put
in for tattslotto on a mega draw.
