Take a night stroll through the Mindil Beach Sunset Market

There are many perks to taking locum jobs in Australia, including the chance to witness the sun setting Down Under. And when you're in Darwin, you can enjoy the sunset and also take in a little shopping at the Mindil Beach Sunset Market.

In 1987, the Mindil Beach Sunset Market was established in Darwin to bring the experience of Asia’s night markets to Australia. All these years later, the collection of vendors who sell their wares at this location play a big role in the Northern Territory’s economy.

As the sun begins to set, stallholders get ready for business. When you visit the markets, you can peruse a selection of arts, crafts and other services. For instance, if you, or your fellow locum tenens, are looking for a bite to eat, there are plenty of vendors selling a range of different cuisines. You can find everything from hamburgers and fish and chips, to Asian flavors from countries such as Japan, India and Malaysia.

Whether or not you make any purchases, you're sure to enjoy your visit to the market if only because of the relaxing atmosphere.
