The Deckchair cinema shows art films nightly (April to Nov) outside on Darwin Harbour, with the stars and passing ships as backdrop. In such a relaxed environment it is easy to kick of your shoes, grab a glass of wine and Exhale.

Explore Darwin by tour tub bus. You can hop on and off this open-sided minbus as it passes by all major attractions, including SkyCity Casino (and hotel). Stops worth making include the Museum & Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (ph 8999 8211) for its aboriginal art collection, and Aquascene phone 8981 7837, at Doctor’s Gully at high tide. This is when hundreds of fish show up looking for a free feed. Get your feet wet and give it a go.

Express yourself through a new hobby. How about baramundi fishing? Check out the one day fishing safaris offered by Anglers Choice and Darwin’s Barra Base to see what this involves. If you find you have the knack for this, sign up for the Reel Women Barramundi Classic held every April.

There are plenty of walking trails and bike paths for your exorcise fitness. Hire a bike and ride out to the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens Stop in at the Information center and find out about guided walks by park rangers or pick up the Aboriginal Plant Use trails brochure and head out on your own.
