Culture
While most tourists come to Darwin to see the amazing scenery and flora and fauna of Kakadu National Park, if you stick around you might just come across some cultural offerings too.
The Darwin Symphony Orchestra is the only resident symphony orchestra in the Northern Territory. It produces up to eight performances a year, including performances on the lawns of MGM Grand Casino and university campuses. Meanwhile, the Darwin Theatre Company (website: http://darwintheatrecompany.com.au) provides a mixture of old and new works at its theatre located at 56 McMinn Street.
Watch a movie under the stars at the Deckchair Cinema (tel: (08) 8981 0700; website: www.deckchaircinema.com). The relaxed open-air cinema offers movies every night from April to November. Expect some 250 deck chairs, 100 straight-backed seats, and a bar. Entry is via a walkway from the Esplanade off Kitchener Drive.
