The Companys support for local development continued withthe purchase of popular helicopter fishing company Helifishfrom long-time resident Mark Rolle. Aaron Finn said, Theacquisition of a respected company like Helifish complementsour new operations in Darwin perfectly. It also enables theCompany to engage with more of the top end community andsignifies our commitment to Darwin and the promotion of theNT Region. Company resources will ensure a strong future forHelifish and will continue to operate with the same great localstaff members that have helped make the business the successit is today.

Not just about scenic flights andcommercial charters, after onlythree months Nautilus Aviationlaunched a helicopter flighttraining school with classrooms inDarwin, Cairns and Townsville. Ina win for new and experiencedPilots of Darwin, they can nowmove forward in their aviationcareers without flying interstate.

Training with Nautilus Aviation is an unmatched experience withclassrooms located in stunning World Heritage-listed sites suchas the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest and the Top EndsKakadu and Litchfield National Parks.

A space to watch is the Companys development of an onsiteCultural Precinct at Charles Darwin National Park. Tailored to thePark and presented by Indigenous experts, visitors and locals willhave the opportunity to learn about Indigenous culture andhistory, participate in traditional workshops and performances,taste fresh (seasonal) bush tucker and learn the significance ofkey plant life from an authentic cultural perspective. Combinedwith a scenic flight, each guest will learn the complete storybelonging to Darwin and why it is historically significant and sospecial to its residents.

In March this year, Nautilus Aviation was identified by theNorthern Territory Parks and Wildlife Commission as thepreferred park-based operator to conduct scenic flights fromCharles Darwin National Park. Adding Darwin to its team ofbases alongside Cairns, Townsville, Horn Island, Mt Isa andWeipa was an exciting win for the Territory for both locals andthe visitor economy.

With access to one of the largest, most versatile and modernfleets in northern Australia, the Companys arrival brings morechoice to Territorians, ensures competitive prices and promotesthe Northern Territory to its alreadyestablished markets in China, India,New Zealand and the United States.In particular, the promotion in Chinawill be most advantageous as it isidentified as the fastest growingtravel market in the world.

Management was personally excitedto commence operations in Darwinwith three of its staff members havingstrong ties to the Territory. Chief Executive Officer Aaron Finndisclosed, Our National Business Development Manager ElliVukasovic is a proud Territorian and passionate about theregions promotion; and Pilot, Bronwyn Loud who relocatedfrom Cairns is a previous resident, thrilled to have returned toits airways. Mr Finn also revealed he was very fond of the TopEnd, Its my second home. Ive been visiting family here foryears.

A firm believer of local partnerships and support, NautilusAviation was quick to confirm its sponsorship of both the DarwinTurf Club Carlton Mid Cup Carnival and the Noonamah TavernRodeo. The Company also introduced a luxury event transferservice at both events a service readily available to locals aswell as our interstate and international friends. Nautilus Aviationlooks forward to working with other local operators in Darwinand the NT to combine products and services.

Here, in less than three months, Nautilus Aviation commencedits scenic flight program, sponsored two iconic events, introduced event transfers by luxury helicopter,purchased local company Helifish and, opened Darwins first helicopter flight training school. With itsobvious commitment to local growth, the Company is earning the right to call Darwin home.

Let Ray White manage your greatest assetWhat is important to landlords?Simple, responsive customer service, communication as well as appreciation for their most valuable asset. In this challenging and competitive market, when a landlord has a vacant property they need to feel reassured that their property management is doing everything they can to get the property leased for the best market price.

How long will it take to find a tenant for my property?Whilst we cant promise an exact period of time, we can tell you that properties which are better presented, more professionally marketed, priced according to the current rental market conditions and represented by a professional agent will rent more efficiently and will guarantee better quality tenants.

How often do you carry out property inspections?When a new tenant is put in place, we carry out the first inspection after 8 weeks and then every 12 weeks (3 months) going forward. We will complete a fully detailed report with photos, advising of any maintenance issues. These will either be emailed or posted, depending on the landlords preference. We can then arrange for any quotes and or repairs that were advised in the report.

80% of property investors are missing out!We have partnered with BMT Tax Depreciation, our preferred depreciation provider. Make sure you arent missing out on thousands in depreciation deductions.Receive a reduced fee of $715 inc. GST (normally $770) for a residential depreciation schedule by contacting our BDM on 0400 263 933.

Last Thursday in April until the last Thursday in October.

As the sun dips into the Arafura Sea every Thursday and Sunday evening, most of Darwin descends on Mindil Beach; tables, chairs, rugs and eskies in tow.

Food is the main attraction Thai, Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese and Malaysian to Brazilian, Greek, Portuguese and more. Colourful arts and crafts vendors peddle their wares - handmade jewellery, natural remedies, artistic creations and unique fashion statements. Shop till you drop, catch a fire show, stop for a massage or be entertained by buskers, bands and talented performers as you wind your way through the palm lined boulevards of Mindil Beach Sunset Markets.

ROYAL KATHERINE SHOW

Show week (the third week in July) will bring more than 17,000 people to town, and creates the largest business week of the year. The excitement the Show brings is infectious and not only showcases the best of Katherine, but also the district.

Early in the week, Tuesday to Thursday, the Katherine Show begins with Equestrian events in the main arena, as well as Cattle events & Campdraft, all of which is open to the public, free of charge.

The President and Committee of the Katherine Show invite you to participate in the Katherine communitys major event of the year. The Katherine & District Show is promising once again to offer its traditional array of Fun and Frivolity for the whole community. We hope to see you at the Katherine Show for 2 days of fun filled Entertainment, Education and Experiences for everyone to share.

Festival favourites Finucane & Smith will transform The Lighthouse into an extravagantly feathered world with their new show The Birds, guaranteed to ruffle a few feathers, while Festival darling and cabaret queen Yana Alana returns with all-female band The Paranas in Covered this time shes baring her soul and not her derrire! In Calypso Nights we welcome the lovable and outlandish Juan Vesuvius to Darwin for the first time; his maraca-wielding absurdity will have you delving into the word of Caribbean music and dancing in the aisles. So much fun to be had!

GARMA FESTIVAL

Friday 29 July - Monday 1 August, 2016

The Yothu Yindi Foundation is pleased to announce that registrations are now open for guests wishing to attend Garma 2016 in northeast Arnhem Land.

Tickets are available through the garma.com.au website.

YYF CEO Denise Bowden said the 18th annual Garma would be a special event, marking the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act (1976).

The Yolngu are immensely proud of the pioneering role they played in the birth of the land rights movement in Australia,Mrs Bowden said.

But its been a long journey along the way, and wed like to see more Indigenous communities not just surviving, but thriving through economic development measures linked to land ownership.Garma 2016 will take place from 29 July - 1 August 2016, at the Gulkula ceremonial grounds in the heart of Yolngu country.Garma is an adventure of a lifetime, a chance to explore a side of Australia that few people see, or really understand properly.

We continue to push the boundaries with our hard-hitting Key Forum conference, but the real magic of Garma is in the celebration of Yolngu cultural traditions, which have sustained the clans of northeast Arnhem Land for tens of thousands of years, and remain strong to this very day.

With capacity limited at the Gulkula site, tickets for Garma sell out months in advance.

65TH ROYAL DARWIN SHOW

2016 MISS MUDDY

Saturday 23 July, 2016

Miss Muddy is coming to a city near you and is a great day out for females of all fitness levels.

With around 5km of colour, foam, inflatables and MUD, Miss Muddy gives you a fun mix of everything you could possibly want in an outdoor event and more.

Outside having a great day with friends, just by participating you are also helping a great cause as all profits from Miss Muddy events go to the McGrath Foundation.

With 15,600 ladies diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia in 2015 the need to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities across the country continues to grow.

This year you can also help support the McGrath Foundation beyond buying a ticket and inviting your friends. For every $50 of funds raised through your personal Miss Muddy Go Fundraise page in 2016 you will go in the draw to win a brand new Suzuki Vitara.

It costs $380,000 to place a McGrath Breast Care Nurse in an area of need for three years, and with six events scheduled in 2016, we aim to raise enough to place six McGrath Breast Care Nurses in 2016.

So, we thank you in advance for helping us support those in need and wish you the best of luck in the draw for the Suzuki Vitara, it is a fantastic car which you will no doubt love to bits.

A FINE MIX OF

FOR NEVILLE PANTAZIS, STRONG FAMILY VALUES UNDERPIN THE CORE OF HIS SUCCESS.

My family is the pillar that allows me to do what I do. Thats a key part of the success of this business, says Neville.

As Store Manager of Parap Fine Foods, Nevilles vision and market knowledge have enabled him to grow and develop the family business established by his parents Paul and Rene in 1968.

Crediting his parents for providing his street training in the retail world, Neville believes the lessons they taught have enabled him to overcome many of the obstacles facing businesses today.

History has a sense of repeating itself, and all thats changed is the language that we use, he says.Although he worked in the family business growing up, Neville left to pursue a career in the arts world. After obtaining a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Tasmania, he returned to Darwin as an Art Lecturer, before ultimately joining his sister Paula at the helm of the store.

According to Neville, the move from the art world back into food

and retail was an easy transition. Influenced by the great food halls of David Jones, Harrods in London, and Dean and DeLucas in New York, Neville used his creativity and artistic flair to propel the visual impact of the business.

With the big food halls overseas its almost like walking into a gallery. So I treat food the same way as art, constantly doing window displays, utilizing the European way of selling food from your front window, he says.

Inspired by travel, Neville believes that journeys overseas provide the best education. These trips also ignite Nevilles passion to ensure that Darwin does not miss out on what is offered to southern counterparts.

There is no reason why we cant be as good as someone in Sydney or Melbourne. We can compete with the southern markets. Even though we have the tyranny of distance weve still got the client base that can equal the gourmet stores around Australia, he says.

Neville cites positive cash flow as a key indicator of success, and feels assured as to the longevity of Parap Fine Foods, as the third generation of the Pantazis family now comes through the ranks.

EVAN & ANNA

YOTSGreek Taverna

Evan and Anna have been in the business of making delicious Greek food and providing world class, homely hospitality at their stunning Cullen Bay restaurant, Yots Greek Taverna, for ten years. In todays difficult economic climate, that is a truly inspirational feat. But its no surprise considering the husband and wife duos unique recipe for success: it all comes down to heart.

Both Anna and Evan come from private enterprise backgrounds, and Evans family has a 100-year history of business in the Northern Territory. Its this extraordinary family history, and their understanding of modern day business, that defines Yots.

When you walk into Yots, you may as well be walking into Anna and Evans lounge room. Its one and the same, says Evan on distinguishing his personal and work life. Our staff are our children and our customers our guests. They have a wonderful, passionate

team of eight full-timers and ten casuals, who put heart into all they do. Whats more, they put locals first and will never overlook Territorians for a quick tourist buck.We surround ourselves with great people and make sure we nurture those bonds and friendships, says Evan. Not the sort of advice youd expect from a restaurant owner and thats just what sets Yots Greek Taverna apart.

Behind every Greek man is a strong Greek woman, says Evan; Anna is the engine room, she makes sure its always well oiled and heading in the right direction. She is a dedicated mother and businesswoman, and Evan credits her for a big chunk of their business success. And if that hasnt convinced you, her homemade baklava certainly will!

If youre after good, traditional Greek food that showcases the Territorys wonderful produce, and a uniquely Greek experience, Yots really is your only option.
