BE YOUR OWN BOSS IN DARWIN

Darwin city’s food scene is often dominated by many exciting weekly food markets, and outdoor food trucks dotted along the city’s coastlines. 

Choosing your own office, watching over the ocean every day, and choosing your own hours - are some of the many benefits to being your own boss in Darwin - just ask Melbourne import and owner of one of Darwin’s newest coffee vans - Aaron McInnes. 

In mid-2021 Aaron moved to Darwin, and after working on his coffee van with the view to starting it up in Victoria, he saw the opportunity to test out his business in a completely new environment - and one with a view over the Darwin harbour! 

“People probably tell me that I’ve got the best office view in the whole city once a day!” 

Set up at the Nightcliff Jetty on weekday mornings, Aaron speaks of the opportunities Darwin affords you.

“I think if you commit to showing up for the people in Darwin, they’ll show up for you - so that's what I did. 

“I think the great thing for me is that I knew I could take what I knew, and bring something different to the cafe culture here, and people like it and have embraced it. There are plenty of opportunities here.”
