Mandorah, Northern Territory

Mandorah is a tiny settlement on the western side of Darwin Harbour, and the pleasant 20-minute ferry ride from Cullen Bay provides a different view of the Harbour. Once at Mandorah, many day-trippers head straight for the local pub to enjoy its views over the water to Darwin, barra and chips, and laid-back character. Fishing at the ferry jetty is a popular pastime, especially during the dry season, when mackerel and tuna come within casting distance.
