Er...Cooda. John let me in?????
I'm sure you didn't mean that the way it sounds

The Forge is definitely taking us back to the 70's. Seem to recall it's closure led to Dix opening on the site.

DJ at Lim's?! Nah, I had hopes of a long life and didn't want to jeopardise my chances.

Was an interesting time to watch the changing face of drinking in Darwin.

Beachcomber closed at 11.00pm and those kicking on went to Fannies, Dix or the Cave. Never saw a fight.

Then they went to midnight close and there was a sense of tension in the air come closing time.

Finally they went to a 2.00am close and it was on for young and old every night.

Did not surprise me when the 0400/0600 closures led to mob violence in the earky hours.
