good morning and welcome back to darwin
so it's saturday over the easter long weekend now we've come to perap to check out the pratt markets
which are on even though it's easter and uh we came for a walk through here a few months ago
and so i thought i'd just come back and show you the difference of what's happening here today
so it's a lot busier as we get into the markets in the middle of the car park area we've got a lot of
interstate visitors in town at the moment and there's not a whole lot else going on
so it's still a bit of a sticky morning
the wet season is hanging in there we're still getting a a few overnight rains
so yeah we'll just go for a bit of a quick stroll through
uh just to show you what the markets are like at the moment
okay
that was a quick
that's a very good questions
just on the right here local artist ray reeves had a stall
here in parap and down at the mindle beach markets for quite a number of years
we'll have a chat to him shortly and he was quite happy for me to to film his artworks
and just to let everyone know that mostly what he's got here at the markets are prince
however if you go to his online store you can buy the originals i will just give you
a closer look at a couple of these and uh ray said that he he does these in acrylics
which is fantastic to get the vibrant colors they look good
so it's great to support a local darwin artist
so we'll just go for a walk through some of the other stalls
get your locally made soaps just there
everything looks very bright and colorful this morning in the sunshine
a lot of people seem to be pretty happy uh out and about this morning
fairly lively crowd we've got huge lines here for mary's laksa and also for a coffee
so just be careful traffic does flow through the perhaps market still when it's this busy
they can't really block the traffic off so parking is at a premium as it is
this is one of my favorite laksa stalls no queues
quite a difference to the crowds that were here in my video from a couple of months back
as you'll see trying to walk through this area it's quite congested
oh
um
with the sauce no chili
my oh
thank you very much
no i didn't charge you
i was planning to uh come and get my favorite smoothie the ginger lime and honey but
as i rounded the corner it's about four or five deep right around the uh
the juice stall in fact both of them this one here on the right as well
so yeah i was a bit tight for time so i had to forgo my smoothie this morning
but good for the stall holders after a quiet wet season so things are looking back on track
highly recommend the happy garden chinese restaurant there excellent takeaways but they
also have a restaurant just to the right of the takeaway section i highly recommend a long time
darwin family has had the happy garden and i would always recommend it
so yeah quite an interesting range of stalls at the moment
as we get into the busier season a little bit different to the the big mindle beach sunset
markets um but uh from a local point of view uh we do like this one here get some excellent food
all right thank you very much for watching and we will see you in the next video
