Hey everyone, I’m fairly new to Darwin and trying to get settled in.
For those who have been here for a while:
How’s the job market in Darwin at the moment? Is it mainly Seek/Indeed, or are there particular industries or companies where it’s better to approach people directly?
Also, what’s the best way to meet people and make friends in Darwin? I’m keen to get out, socialise and actually get to know people rather than just staying home 😂
Any recommendations for good social groups, events, sports, BBQs, meetups, or places where people are generally friendly?
Appreciate any advice from Darwin locals!

30M, looking for someone to chat

Hi everyone,

We’re planning to drive from Melbourne to Darwin with our 3-year-old child and wanted to hear from people who have done a similar trip.

Is it a good idea, or would you recommend flying instead? We’re planning to take our time over several days rather than rushing.

I’d love to know: • How many days did you take? • Which route did you choose? • Any good places to stop overnight with a young child? • How were the road conditions? • Anything we should be aware of, especially when travelling with a toddler?

We’re mainly doing it for the experience and to have our car with us in Darwin, but we’re open to any advice or tips.

Thanks in advance!
