    Wet season markets

    The markets are on Saturday throughout the year. Wet season the stalls are covered.

    The Asian foods are excellent. Otherwise there's the usual market lines available - fruit and vegetables, bric-a-brac, artwork, crafts, orchids, cut heliconias and gingers, fresh fruit drinks, etc..

    Prices are generally quite good.

    The Mindil Markets would have to be the most famous of all the markets in Darwin. Held every Thursday and Sunday of the week during the dry the markets is a great place to go to discover the local wares and find lots of little crafts, nik naks, jewellery and items from the usual market crowd and Darwin locals. From paintings to earings to your usual tourist nik naks it has it all. Along with a huge selection of foods to choose from and munch on from all different backgrounds of the globe and I highly recommend in the Darwin heat an Ice Cream and some of those famously freshly squeezed juices to cool off. Not to mention being located right in a great place to enjoy the sun going down on Mindil beach and usually they arrange some entertainment great for the family or just a group of friends to pull up a rug and enjoy.

    Star Lamps are cool, the jewellery assortment is great and search for that magnificent pearl. Also has the usual exclectic hippi mix of sarongs, bags, beads and candles through to palm readers and paintings. So much to choose from here!

    Depends on what you are looking for, but as always with Markets you will always find your bargain buys as well as your little bit more expensive but usually truely unique gifts.

    Mitchell Street is the heart of Darwin's CBD area with plenty of opportunity to flash your cash for some well earned retail therapy. There is the large Mitchell Centre Shopping Centre and also plenty of other specialty shops to tempt your plastic fantastic. And after lugging around all your new found possessions there are many cafes where you can take a load of your feet and refresh yourself. Take a walk, take your time and take your wallet!

    Rapid Creek Markets
    towards Moon Chi
    by Zanzibargirl
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Moon Chi, which has a shop at the Rapid Creek Markets, and also stalls at Mindil Sunset Markets when it is on, is a great little shop. It houses star lantern lights, hand painted and made which are pretty cool to string up and light up your world. Along with other gifts and jewellery. It is pretty neat. And I found it great for just something different to give as gifts for people. Rapid Creek Markets are held Friday nights and Sunday mornings and there are quite a few other little trinket stores and also food to choose from. Rapid Creek is Darwins oldest Markets and operates all year round.

    Star Lanterns from Moon Chi.

    Depends on how many you buy, the more you buy the cheaper the lanterns get. 3 for $55 bucks. But they sell other stuff too.

    Smith Street Mall

    The Smith Street mall consists of several shops which sell everything from clothing to cameras and tourist wears plus more. It has cafe's, fountains and most famously the artist who paints pictures using spray cans. An eclectic mix of inner city shopping.

    Of all the shops in the mall, my favourites would have to be the outlet store for mark downs for Pzazz dresses. And if you are looking for a different gift, I would definately recommend the spray paint paintings. Very cool.

    Depends on what you are after....

    Parap Markets

    The Parap Markets are held Saturdays at Parap Shopping Village. One of Darwins older markets it runs year round and it a market of very good quality. Lots to choose from and a really cool atmosphere. It operates between 7:30 am and 1:30 pm. I highly recommend it for a wander one Saturday and pick up a snack for brunch.

    It has the usual market paraphenalia.

    Depends on what you buy, it ranges.

    Located both in the Smith Street mall and the Mitchell Centre in Darwin City Pzazz is the place to go if you are looking for something to wear on a really nice evening out. They have some of the most stunning dresses, and I had lots of fun searching for mine. That perfect dress to wear on what was supposed to be a perfect evening for my birthday. It is like being a little girl and playing dress ups all over again! If you want to feel like a princess and add a little pzazz to your wardrobe I highly recommend it.

    Dresses and evening wear.

    Depends, but not necessarily cheap. But as you say, you get the quality and the class you pay for.

    South of Darwin by 20 km is the city of Palmerston. Here you will find 2 shopping centres with supermarkets and other smaller shops. Last real place for a big shop before getting to Katherine.
