Re: Old timers ???
I remember Beachies and Darbys the nightclub in the Don, great places to chat to a young lady and have a dance or two.

Hi
Sure that the cartoon character isn't one of Ken Maynard's Ned and his Neddy from Ettamogah?
The dog looks the spitting image of Wal's dog from Murray Ball's Footrot Flats but different colour.

Re: Old timers ???
Dont Forget the old Vic Hotel, always a great place. For those who do remember Dolphins there was also the Cage at Beachies. Interesting place but practical when cleaning in the morning with the firehose...
Pity the the old Hotel Darwin isnt there anymore. Used to love the Pickled Parrot Piano bar
The good old pubs of Darwin Town
