Any recommendations for things to do in Darwin this time of year? Unfortunately the Adelaide river croc tours are shut in the wet season.

Apparently they have a waterski club there - good spot for a drink.

The ski club is alright.

There is also the trailer boat club.

Beachfront hotel is also a reasonably good place for a drink

Then of course there is plenty of bars in the city.

The footy is also on so you could watch a game

If you have kids Leanyer Water Park is a safe place for them to swim and its also free. They have waterslides, a pool and a play area for the younger ones.

If you a looking for a feed stay away from the wharf. The food there is sh!t. Head into Mitchell Street in the city for your choice of food. Hanamans is always popular. Char also seem to be popular but Raven reckons their food is also sh!t. The Casino also has some nice restaurants.

Welcome to the Darwin Rocksitters Club Established in 1974, still sitting every Saturday East Point Reserve Darwin NT Australia 6pm onwards BYO.
What is Rocksitting?

...

Rocksitting evolved from the great Darwin tradition of sitting down and having a few beers with ya mates. Back in 1974 a group of journalists  gathered at East Point Reserve on a Saturday afternoon to sink a few tinnies (cans of beer), spin a few yarns (tell a story) and watch the brilliant Sun set over the Arafura Sea.

Needless to say this became a regular event and the Rocksiters club began. Religously Rocksitters gathered every Saturday at East Point Reserve and continued to consume copious amounts of amber fluid, they came from far and wide once hearing of this guzzling group and eagerly joined the ranks to share their tales and views.

What made Rocksitting so unique was that due to Darwins 7 metre tides the “Rock” would be a metre underwater at high tide, this ensured that only the hardiest of drinkers would earn the right to become a Rocksitter!

Wasn't it you who mocked a member for visiting a coffee museum?

What do you do for fun?
