NT! It's stinger season.….so we thought, why not find out if you’re secretly one of them?
😂

Swipe through for 5 signs you might have some serious box jellyfish energy and/or send this to the person who is suspiciously accurate for every single one.

And while we're having a laugh, remember: box jellyfish can be dangerous. From October to end of May, box jellyfish can be found in Top End waters so if you're
heading into the water, check local conditions, follow safety advice and cover up with protective clothing. Find out more - https://health.nt.gov.au/public-health-notifiable-diseases/box-jellyfish?ref=devblog.qnx.com

So… how jellyfish are you?

🎣 If you love fishing, you’ll love the Territory.

Fishing is one of the favourite pastimes for Territorians, with diverse fishing experiences from barra-filled rivers and estuaries to reef and blue-water fishing.

And if you’ve ever dreamed of catching a million-dollar barra, now is a pretty good time to start.

Million Dollar Fish Season 12 has kicked off, with registrations now open. With prize-tagged barra released across the Territory, who knows what you might reel in?

Maybe this is your kind of Territory life.

Tell me you’re a Territorian without telling me you’re a Territorian.

Laksa for breakfast? Yes.
Laksa for lunch? Yes and Yes.

And just when you thought we couldn’t love laksa any more… Darwin International Laksa Festival starts tomorrow!

For the whole month of October, Darwin turns up the heat with the Laksa Food Tour, where you can taste laksa and seriously creative laksa-inspired dishes across participating venues. Think laksa burgers, pies, cocktails, ice cream and more. 👀

Then there’s the Grand Finale to wrap it all up!

So, how much do you really love laksa? Time to put it to the test.

Central Australia has been named among Lonely Planet’s Top 25 Experiences for 2027 - the only Australian experience to make the global list.

Why? It’s all about the art, culture and stories you can experience across Central Australia.

From Wintjiri Wiṟu and Field of Light at Uluṟu, to Parrtjima, Aboriginal art centres, galleries and cultural experiences across the region, the Red Centre offers immersive ways to connect with Country and learn from its Traditional Custodians.

Lonely Planet says these experiences are not only visually impressive but give travellers a deeper insight into the landscape and its Traditional Custodians.

Basically, there’s a whole lot more to discover beyond the red landscapes.️
