- PROUD TO BE TERRITORIAN There’s the awe-inspiring Uluru, the magnificence of Kakadu National Park and the beauty of Darwin Harbour. But it’s the lifestyle that delights Sukran. “I remember when I first arrived in Darwin,” she says. “I was cycling to work and it was so lovely that I found myself smiling. No traffic, no congestion. Just five minutes from...Read more

- SECURING OUR WATER SUPPLY In the greater Darwin region, the majority of our water supply, around 85 percent, comes from the Darwin River Dam, which is operating at or above its sustainable supply level. The remaining 15 percent is provided through groundwater resources, which is also in limited supply. In other words, the supply is operating at its sustainable...Read more

- ALICE DRIVES FUTURE GRID The way the town is powered is no exception.

And...Read more

Two imaginative programs – Caring for Country and Learning on Country – complement each other...Read more

A profitable industry has since built up around crocodiles: Landowners, especially Aboriginal Traditional Owners, sell wild crocodile eggs to crocodile farms, or collect and incubate...Read more
- BEEF REPORT KEY POINTS World food prices, including beef, are rising fast with no end in sight. Australian cattle prices continue to climb but retail prices remain steady. Something has to break. If lumpy skin disease reaches Australia the result will be catastrophic. INDONESIASLAUGHTER STEERS $5.05KG LIVE WEIGHT (RP10,400 =...Read more
- BEEF REPORT KEY POINTS Indonesian importers losing about AUD$280 per head on slaughter steers.Zero Vietnam imports from Australia during October.

- SHARING THE RISK At the moment, too much of the risk in civil construction projects is being rolled onto contractors and this is unsustainable. Civil designs that form the basis of tender documentation are often incomplete or contain errors that have knock-on effects once construction begins. More investment is needed in the upfront components of civil...Read more
- SHIFTING HEARTS AND MINDS That was my challenge to a number of local business owners recently. A question designed to test them out on how attractive investing is in our part of the world. And most answered with an interesting twist. Paraphrasing, they said: “My heart says the Territory, but my head probably says south-east Queensland, Sydney or Melbourne.” Each...Read more
