Larrakeyah, Northern Territory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larrakeyah (postcode 0820) is a suburb of Darwin, the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory.
Larrakeyah is named after the indigenous language group that occupied the area before European settlement, the Larrakia, who occupied much of the Darwin coastal area.
Larrakeyah is now a densely populated suburb, home to an increasingly diverse population of long-time locals, indigenous and transient residents who have come to Darwin to work during the cooler Dry Season. It is located within the federal electorate of Solomon and the territory electorate of Port Darwin.
Features of Larrakeyah include the Larrakeyah Barracks (an Army barracks combined with HMAS Coonawarra Naval Base) that takes up most of the suburb, Larrakeyah Terrace (a pleasant harbour-front street with an open park for picnics and walks), as well as being closeby to the tourist attractions in Darwin City, Cullen Bay, Mindil Beach and the George Brown Botanical Gardens.
