 People Wander the Markets by Zanzibargirl
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. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Mindil Beach The EsplanadePhone: 8981 3454Directions: Catch the No. 4 Darwin bus from the city if staying in town - the bus driver will usually point out where to get off for all the tourists and it avoids the rush of parking which is usually madness.Website: http://www.darcity.nt.gov.au/Markets/Markets.htm

 Wet season markets by 1+1
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. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Parap Shopping VillageDirections: Past Fanny Bay and follow the signs to Parap Shopping

The VT Survivor group hired our off-road trailer here, also many camping bags, inflatible mattresses, tents, cooking and eating gear – in short, most of the items needed for a camping trip. The gear was good, the service friendly and the price entirely reasonable. Should you wish also to “Go Bush”, I’m sure from our experience we’d all be happy to endorse this firm.
Now to a little story. Mal, the proprietor (that’s him in the photo) looks every bit a hardened Territorian who would make a great assistant to those stereotyped ‘tough Aussie bush blokes’ you see in the movies. So what’s that in his hand in the photo and what’s he telling us?
Well, it rather seems that a small bird called a Dusky Honeyeater made a nest in a bush outside the shop’s door. Mal watched the birds nesting and in due course the chicks emerged. One day he arrived in the morning to find that, overnight, a wandering drunk had broken the branch with the nest and the chicks were on the ground. He took the nest inside, found some hessian and twine with which to repair it, then tied the branch back to the bush and returned the chicks. It all worked, the birds came back, and a week later the chicks were able to fly. He has kept the repaired nest and proudly showed us that and the dried branch. So despite the “buffalo catcher” appearance, he’s just a “sensitive new-age guy”! And a nice bloke to do business with.
That will depend entirely on what you need! We thought it all good value though. Theme: OtherAddress: Caryota Cl, Coconut Grove, DarwinPhone: 0413 757 000Directions: Not the easiest place to find, as we discovered! Head up Caryota Place, then turn right.Website: gonebush@octa4.net.au

 Smith Street Mall by Zanzibargirl
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.... Leave a Comment
