Vic

there, after years away your first drink was at The
Vic. It has a memory for everyone. (My
memory - thanks Manuel C. who knew how to party in the
80's).

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

 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 drink and drive, 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.
