SUNDAY DRIVE 🌴 If you like the look of this ‘island’ paradise - you’ll like it even more when you find out that you can drive to it 🤩🤩 Staying out at Crab Claw is usually one for the fishos, it’s in a prime spot for a flick - but it’s only about an hour and a half from Darwin city, so we recommend doing a day trip drive out for lunch on their open air deck overlooking the ocean! You could detour in to @crabclawislandresort on your way to Dundee Beach, or head out there for lunch then stop in at Berry Springs for a swim on your way home!! Our local’s tip is to try the tiger prawn salad… it’s got mango, avocado, macadamia nuts and prawns, in a bowl made of toasted flatbread. It screams tropical island lunch 😍🤤

LOCKDOWN TAKEAWAY / DELIVERY / ONLINE SERVICES - SAVE THIS POST ☑️ Sadly, we’re back here again 🔒 Last time we did this it was a great help for our businesses who were serving takeaway or offering their services contact free. They’ll need to shift all the stock they already had and keep staff working, so if we can help out, we will! Pleaseeeee let’s be sensible & safe for the next 72 hours Darwin & Katherine, so we can get back to doing what we do best by the weekend 👍🏼 If you know of local businesses that are still open for takeaway & delivery or offering online services - in line with covid restrictions of course - drop their handle & details in the comments below so we can get around them!! We will edit our article from last lockdown accordingly and let you know when it’s updated - Stay tuned.

WANGI OPEN FOR SWIMMING! If you’re heading out to Litchfield - Wangi Falls is a staple for locals and tourists alike. It’s sealed all the way in and even has a kiosk and a lovely grass picnic area. It’s been open all dry season for the views, but you can finally swim there again!! 🤩💙💙 Our locals tip - there’s a boardwalk that leads to the waterfall view in the first photo… but did you know there’s a walk to the top of the escarpment too? It’s only 1.5 kilometres but it’s steep in parts - and if you’re camping out there it is an EPIC spot to be at sunset (take a head torch tor the way down!) 😍 And something good to know? Sometimes our favourite part of the adventure is that we don’t have phone service - but there’s free Wifi at Wangi if you need it! 🙌🏼 #localstipsdarwin #wangifalls #litchfieldnationalpark #darwindaytrips

Tonight’s local’s tip? Make sure you explore our city beyond the CBD! 🌴💙 You may have driven out East Point Road to go to Pee Wee’s (great choice!) but East Point itself is also a nature reserve that’s tucked away in Fannie Bay, and it’s well worth a visit… it is home to everything from a model plane runway, to hundreds of wallabies, beautiful beaches, outdoor gyms, walking trails, sunset viewing spots, some of the coolest rocks we’ve ever seen, and even some war history. If you want to know what you can do on a visit to East Point other than walk the path and eat at the restaurant… link in bio 😍 #localstipsdarwin #eastpoint #darwincity #thingstodoindarwin

ABORIGINAL ART / FASHION EXHIBITIONS & SALES 🙌🏼🎨 SO the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair launches online tomorrow at 10am – you can buy tickets to @darwinartfair virtual workshops, artist talks and buy authentic art direct from over 70 indigenous art centres. How good! BUT If you’re here on Larrakia country and want to see, experience or purchase art and fashion from Artists across the NT, there are also some FANTASTIC exhibitions and pop ups to attend…

Hey Darwin fans! A welcome to all of our newest friends - we just wanted to say hey and thanks for your support!! We Are Locals exists to bring you all the info about what to do, see and experience in the best city in Aus: Darwin 🙌🏼 We are here to help you immerse yourselves in all of the things that make Darwin and the NT the place that it is. We seek out the things you need to know, so that you have more time to experience them!

WHAT’S ON THIS WEEKEND 🤩 It’s a true dry season weekend and we have seen many people touch down from the southern states already… there’s SO MUCH ON!! We’ve compiled a little list of all the things you can check out; from festivals, to cocktails, to comedy, and from sunsets to DJ sets!! HOW GOOD! Our local’s tip? Never take for granted all of the fantastic things we get to do here - we are so lucky! Get around it this weekend Darwin 🌞🌞🌞 LINK IN BIO 💙 #localstipsdarwin #whatsondarwin

NEW CAFE/BAR! 🙌🏼 Birth of Venus is a brand new super fun and quirky coffee / wine / cocktail bar at the Cavenagh street end of the Air Raid Arcade - joining the likes of @babylonbar_darwin, various clothing and sewing shops (with more to come) a barber, @airraidrecords, @vintageboutiquedarwin and right across from the famous Kurts Cakes! Today as part of a soft launch (open from 7am for coffee and toasties and JAFFLES this week) we went and said hello for our coffee journey! They use local @dtowncoffee… and lets just say we can’t wait to try their espressos too! Our local’s tip is to keep an eye on this one for when the bar opens, and keep one or two on the Air Raid Arcade in general… we’re sure it’s going to be pretty cool! ⚡️🙌🏼☕️ #localstipsdarwin #airraidarcade

Where are you adventuring this long weekend? This is Edith (Leliyn) Falls - the turn off is about half an hour before you hit Katherine - there are two pools for swimming, and a ripper campsite and kiosk! Surrounded by a lush green bush setting, this is the bottom pool right next to the campsite!! How good! BUT our local’s tip is to venture to the Upper Pools and set yourself up there for a couple of hours - the water is deep and cold, perfect after the short hike up, and there are plenty of spots to swim, relax and take in the views!! Link in bio for more tips on a weekend in Katherine & surrounds! #localstipsdarwin #darwinroadtrips #Katherine
