Introduction
Mindil Beach is Darwin's iconic shore, famous for its sunsets and sunset markets. In the dry season on Thursday and Sunday evenings, dozens of food and craft stalls line the sand — Southeast Asian, African and Aboriginal flavours mingling — the Territory's liveliest and most healing dusk ritual. At low tide the flats spread wide; under an orange dusk, market bustle and sea breeze weave the Territory's own ease.
