Darwin Cup – Horse racing – Accommodatuon
Like the Melbourne cup, the Darwin Cup sees all activity in the Northern Territory come to a standstill to see the action. Local pubs and clubs are always full of patrons and the race course is packed.
Every single piece of Darwin accommodation will be booked out so you need to book many months in advance if you want to come here at this time. Darwin is a tropical town and the cup will be accompanied by copious beer drinking by the locals rowdy parties will carry on well in to the small hours, so come prepared if you are going to visit Darwin during the cup celebrations.
