Australia Day in Darwin is about getting out and enjoying some special time with family and friends. It might be going out fishing in the morning for some Barramundi to put on a family evening BBQ. Or you may prefer heading to the Port area restaurants and hotels to socialise while awesome meals are served and refreshing drinks are tasted in celebration of the National Day on January 26th.
