The annual Darwin Waterfront Easter egg hunt on Saturday was an eggstravagant celebration.

Families from across the Top End gathered to enjoy a range of Easter activities, including the famous Easter egg hunt.

“We have about 10,000 Easter eggs ready,” Yasmine Welsh from Darwin Waterfront Corporation told the NT News.

“We expect about 3500 families to come here today.

“It’s fantastic to see so many Territorian families out and about enjoying the Waterfront.”
