CONNECTING WITH YOUR NEW LIFESTYLE IN DARWIN

In Darwin, people are working to live - not the other way around. Its many seasons lend themselves to life outdoors - and the people are here to adventure. 

Once you have a job here, it’s an easy place to get your head around. It’s just small enough to ditch the commutes - and just big enough to have new places to visit and new people to meet. The sunsets are next level, and opportunities for growth are everywhere. The air is fresher, and friends become family.

So you’re making the move? Good on you! Here are our top tips to create new connections in Darwin. 

GET SOCIAL - There are plenty of great Facebook pages and community groups that are good for knowing what events are on, and for organising meet-ups. Do a Facebook search for things that interest you and start getting social! 

REDISCOVER YOUR PASSIONS - If there’s one thing we know about Darwinians - it's that we aren't afraid to have a go. Now is the time to get back into that hobby you started, or that passion project you let fall to the wayside – whatever it may be! Chances are, you’ll find a community group or people who like doing it too, and at the very least, someone to cheer you on! 

SPORTS - Do you play sports? Now is the best time to take up one that you’ve been wanting to play! More than 50 sporting codes, both competitively and socially, are supported in hundreds of clubs and sporting venues across greater Darwin,-some of which are world-class facilities. The Marrara Sporting Complex plays a major part -with facilities for AFL, Soccer, Netball, Hockey, Rugby, BMX and Basketball.
