Channel Nine’s travel and lifestyle show Getaway have spent the past week in Darwin filming travel stories to air in early 2020.

During the Darwin shoot Getaway presenter Lauren Phillips came face to face with the world’s largest reptile, diving in the Crocosaurus Cove’s Cage of Death, with the segment also featuring Crocosaurus Cove’s Big Croc Feed show and Fishing for Crocs activities.

The Getaway team will also be filming a travel story with the NT’s own Outback Wrangler Matt Wright, taking an overnight adventure to his Top End Safari Camp, which features luxury tent accommodation and plenty of high adrenalin adventures.

The best free things to do in Darwin will also be filmed with the Getaway team visiting the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, the 2019 Darwin Street Art Festival, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory and the Darwin Waterfront Precinct.

Darwin’s foodie scene will also be covered with the Getaway team visiting The Parap Markets, Lola’s Pergola Darwin, The Trader Bar and enjoying a pizza at Cucina sotto le Stelle, along the Nightcliff foreshore.

Getaway is in its 28th season, making it Australia’s longest running lifestyle program and airs nationally as well as in New Zealand and other networks around the world and airs at 5pm Saturday’s on Channel 9.

Quotes from Department of Tourism, Sport and Culture Deputy CEO Andrew Hopper:
“Darwin is an adventurer’s paradise, from our sparkling harbour to our food and tropical outdoor lifestyle, Darwin like the rest of the Territory is different in every sense.

“It’s a fantastic place to holiday with kids, whether it’s diving with crocs in the heart of Darwin’s CBD, catching some waves at the Darwin Waterfront Wave Lagoon or enjoying a tropical evening with great food at Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, there’s something for all the family to enjoy here.”
