Darwin Local Services and Local Shops To Buy At


When I created this site for our selfdrive and tour clients coming for overseas and interstate we went around Darwin and repeatedly and still do check out the service and products on offer. Here are the ones we found that offered value, excellent service and a good range of competitive prices. We have offered our vote here and note we are very tough on our star ratings. If you see a low service rating don't be put off by visiting that store as staff flucations are common and it's based on the repeated service that only we have experienced. We haven't offered an opinion on accommodation or tourism operators more on businesses for our client needs when they visit here such as food, clothing, general shopping, camping supplies and medical care.

Charlies Darwin Barber: AUD18 for a cut and Charlie can cut the traditional mens cut. He don't take booking but locals know to just on in (airconditioned now and watch TV and wait and listen to Charlies wisdom on events in Australia - we don't need a Government we just need Charlie maybe think of the savings). Charlie is great for those coming in off the cruise ships as he is in the Smith Street Mall in the first arcade on the left on the Knuckey Street side.

DIRECTIONS

Trying to get you way around Darwin

Look right and this is Bagot Road which turns into Trower Road at the Nightliff bend in the road. A wide road and many Uturn areas in case you go to far.

The next series of business are on Trower Road and Bagot Road some 8-10 klm from the Darwin CBD and easy to find. Bill's Reminising!!! Bagot was a surveyor in our early history.


Oriental Emporium and as we know it Asian Importers: Oriental Emporium on Bagot Rd. Be impressed by the range of instant noodles, rice noodles, egg noodles Hakka fishballs, thai fishcakes, dim sims and spring rolls. there is so much I can't write it here. Good trading hours.

The Lay's have a excellent business here and personally knowing them we have seen their dedication to business passed on thru this enormous showroom.
