Aggravated Robbery

Palmerston - 5 youths aged between 9 & 13

Northern Territory Police have arrested and charged two 13-year-old boys following an alleged aggravated robbery at a service station in Palmerston on Sunday afternoon.

At around 3pm, five youths aged between 9 and 13 allegedly attended a service station at the intersection of Yarrawonga Road and Roystonea Avenue.

It is alleged two members of the group entered the store and began stealing food and drink items before one of the youths threatened an employee and attempted to force entry into a secure area behind the service counter.

The youth allegedly left the store and returned with other members of the group, who forced their way behind the counter while a 9-year-old allegedly threatened the employee with a pair of scissors.

The group allegedly stole a quantity of cigarettes before fleeing the scene on foot.

The employee suffered minor injuries to his hands, wrist and knee during the incident.

A crime scene was established, with the incident captured on CCTV.

Police CCTV operators subsequently observed one of the alleged offenders boarding a bus on Chung Wah Terrace. Palmerston General Duties officers intercepted the bus on Driver Avenue and arrested a 13-year-old boy without incident.

A second 13-year-old boy was located a short time later on Schombacher Circuit. He allegedly fled from police before being arrested following a short foot pursuit. Police also recovered property allegedly stolen during the incident.

One 13-year-old was charged with aggravated robbery, breach of bail, damage to property and engaging in violent conduct.

The second 13-year-old was charged with aggravated robbery and engaging in violent conduct.

Investigations remain ongoing to identify and locate the remaining alleged offenders.

How much is everyone paying for a 3 bedroom in Darwin/palmerston surrounds?

Listening to the chief minister's attack on the protesters outside the resources conference, while her government has failed to restore power and drinking water after the direct effects of climate change on remote communities it has me asking, is she completely incompetent or a malicious arsehole, also am aware these aren't mutually exclusive.

Anybody know what’s going on in the CBD tonight Tuesday 2nd September 10pm?

This seems rare. I'm in my 40's and I can't remember someone else being attacked by a water buffalo.

Looking to buy a used car (Ute / 4wd). Any tips on where to go or where to avoid?
Has anyone had any experience buying interstate (for $$) and driving it in and changing over rego? Is it worth the effort?

What questions should I be asking the seller / dealer?

Appreciate any advice

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here would be able to give me some guidance on employer's willingness to either take on someone on a working holiday visa, or sponsor an international applicant.

I'm specifically looking at Darwin, this is the region of Australia that most interests me in trying out, and I have a pretty extensive work experience in analytics, project management and business analysis broadly; and in healthcare data specifically.

I've applied to a few positions so far, but understandably most aren't looking to hire someone for only 6 months, or go through visa sponsorship.

Am I wasting my time with my current outlook? Alternatively, I've been looking at pivoting into medical radiography since the schooling cost in Canada is heavily subsidized, and then applying for those positions in Darwin.

Thank you very much for any advice and help! I want to make this dream a reality.

Hi a'll, I'm a 4 year Darwin local but I've never made it out to Kakadu 😱

I'm hoping to head out there on some kind of tour before this dry season is completely over.

Was hoping for some info about any cheaper 4WD day tours.

I'd plan to camp somewhere near Jabiru the night before and join a tour from there.

I unfortunately don't have the skills nor a 4WD to head out on my own, and I figure the guides would know the best areas to head to see some of the wildlife in action.

Thanks in advance!

I have been looking for a decent used car in Darwin, but most of the cars I find online have over 200,000 km and do not seem to have been properly maintained.

I also checked a few dealers, but their prices seem terrible for used cars.

Is this just normal for the Darwin used car market, or am I looking in the wrong places? Any tips on where to find a reliable used car would be appreciated!

As emergency services continue to search for a downed aircraft and its pilot in waters off the Northern Territory, details of a second serious incidentinvolving Air Frontier has come to light.

Two months before Tuesday’s crash near Groote Eylandt, Air Frontier nearly lost another plane after a pilot was forced into an emergency landing on a Darwin beach.

Air Frontier confirmed on Tuesday afternoon it was missing a Beechcraft Baron twin-piston VH-AKH after it departed Gove Airport in Nhulunbuy at 11am. It was due to land at Numbulwar about 11.50am.

About 10 minutes before the pilot was due to land the plane in the community 467km from Katherine, a person on a nearby vessel called emergency services after seeing a plane crashing into the sea of the Gulf of Carpentaria.

The report has prompted an urgent search involving multiple agencies for the aircraft and the pilot, believed to be the sole occupant.

Search teams were stood down at 9pm Tuesday before resuming at 6.30am Wednesday.

Police said several vessels and aircraft were assisting, along with police divers.

These include the Alyangula Police vessel PV Tasman Point, an Anindilyakwa Land and Sea Rangers vessel, a Nautilus Aviation helicopter and the NT Police Air Wing PC-12 fixed-wing aircraft.

Divers were conducting underwater searches of the sea floor from Groote Eylandt near the crash site near Isle Woodah later on Wednesday.

They will try and locate and recover aircraft debris and other evidence that may help understand the circumstances of the crash.

Air Frontier chief executive Kylie Hunt said Air Frontier had grounded all five Beechcraft Baron aircraft in its fleet pending advice from the relevant authorities.

“Air Frontier is deeply saddened by this accident and our thoughts are with our pilot and their family at this incredibly difficult time,” Ms Hunt said.

“The family has been contacted and we are supporting them as this situation unfolds.

“We are also making sure our staff have the support they need.”

It is not the first time this year the air charter business has made headlines.

In June, nudist beach goers in Casuarina, Darwin were exposed to an emergency landing from a Cessna T207 Turbo Stationair 8 (piston-single) due to fuel starvation.

The Air Frontier light aircraft was in the middle of carrying out several journeys between Darwin and the Tiwis on June 24 when trouble struck after 1pm Northern Territory Fire and Rescue Service and NT Police responded to the incident but no one was reported as injured.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau states the “serious” incident happened after the plane engine failed “reportedly due to fuel exhaustion”, with the matter still under investigation.

Air Frontier, with bases in Darwin and Arnhem Land, has experienced a few hairy landings over the past 10 years

In February 2020, one of its pilots was forced to make a belly landing at Darwin Airport after the landing gear failed to come down.

Another aircraft faced a crash landing at the airport in 2019 when it experienced a “problem with a front wheel”. The plane had to be removed by crane delaying flights for two hours. No one was injured in either of these incidents but in 2017, tragedy struck when two pilots were killed in a crash in scrubland near Gunn Point Road.

Darcy McCarter and Daniel Burrill were flying in a Cessna 210 from Darwin to Elcho Island to transport a coffin when the aircraft hit severe turbulence. Daniel Burrill, 33, died in Cesna 210 crash at Howard Springs.

The ATSB found a combination of “airspeed, turbulence and control inputs probably led to excessive loading on the aircraft’s wings” leading to the plane breaking apart mid-air.

The plane carrying the two pilots went into an “uncontrolled descent” before it crashed into scrubland killing Mr McCarter and Mr Burrill and destroying the aircraft.

ATSB said they found the pilots had no experience flying in the Build Up season. “Although pairing a supervisory pilot with a pilot new to the company was likely to reduce risk in other instances, in this case it did not adequately address the weather-related risks because neither pilot had experience flying in the region during the wet season,” they stated.

Air Frontier has been operating in the NT since the 1980s and specialises in corporate, government and private charter services as well as offering scenic flights and tours.

Their website states their fleet stands at more than 40 aircraft

Last night my car was vandalised by a drunken local who was having a domestic with her husband/ partner.. Instead of sorting it out, she decided to smash my car with a log and destroying the bonnet and back pillar which can’t be just replaced.

My father in law caught her doing it and when we all came out side, the whole tribe decided they all wanted to kill us and called us every racial slurs possible .

We called police, apparently they are “very busy” and will send someone when they can.

We get a phone call 1hr and 15mins later from dispatch saying a message was passed on to call us back…. WE WANTED A UNIT TO US!!!

She admitted there’s no staff at night and what did they want us to do! They were only gonna send someone if there basically was a death.

The last government was the same, this government is the same. All talk, same bullshit.

The worst part, I had my car fixed and resprayed a month ago.

Hi everyone, is there a way to get to the famous mataranka hot springs and bitter springs from Darwin, if you cant drive?

We’re looking to add one more person to our D&D group.

We’re a pretty relaxed group. We like actually playing the game, but having a laugh and getting along with everyone is more important than knowing every rule.

You don’t need to be a D&D expert. Happy with someone newer as long as you’re keen to get involved and can turn up reasonably consistently.

We play every Thursday in Wanguri and usually have a good mix of roleplay, combat and general laughs.

If you’re interested, chuck a comment below with a little bit about yourself and whether you’ve played before.

Another Camden Smith article today about some restaurant opening in Cas Square with thousands of bookings. I really thought there had to be a statement at the start of articles like this stating they had taken money to write the drivel like that. I'll bet he gets free meals for a month afterwards. (& no I'm not a competitor I'm just tired of the NT 'News' being shite)

Hi all,

Keen for on the ground, local recommendations rather than just trusting Weatherzone etc.

I enjoy watching and photographing storms and in particular, arvo / evening storms and lightning. Whilst having a beer or three lol. So not fussed on chasing, just want to rent a room / apartment with a balcony and good views and get some shots.

A few questions:

1. Darwin Harbour the best vantage point to rent or would you recommend another location?
2. Which direction is best to face?
3. From Doctor Google etc, early November seems to be the go to date, does that fit your experience?
4. I don't want to book say a 4 day trip (3 nights) and I miss the action - is it safe to expect at least a few good storms a week in November?

Thanks!
