13 A TASTE OF THE TROPICS DARWIN, NT

Some of the best food to be devoured in Darwin is at its myriad markets, where cross-cultural influences, fresh flavours and stupendous sunsets and sunrises abound. At the Rapid Creek Markets, Darwin’s oldest, you’ll find Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Sri Lankan and Filipino shoppers jostling for produce, while at the Nightcliff Markets you can linger a little longer over live music, good food and coffee. Pick up some crafts or flowers at the Parap Markets or listen to buskers and other live entertainers at the Palmerston Markets. The Mindil Beach Sunset Markets (pictured below) are a bit of a tourist trap, but once you’ve experienced that sunset you’ll understand it’s for a good reason. darwin.nt.gov.au/ explore/markets
