A SUITE of Territory Day events have been laid out with Territorians urged to choose the celebration that best suits them and turn up for the big day.
Tourism Minister Lauren Moss revealed the key birthday events, including one with the NT News, that would help Territorians mark our 42 years a little differently this year.
“Support your mates, support Territory businesses, support our entertainment sector and support our heroes,” Ms Moss has urged.
And that’s exactly what the NT News will be doing in our special pull-out souvenir Territory Day edition, which will include a Territory flag, and the Territory’s 42 Most Memorable Moments.
Something sure to test everyone’s Territory Day appetite is the Territory 10,000 initiative that kicks off on June 24 and aims to get 10,000 meals sold in the run-up to Territory Day in support of our hard-hit hospitality sector.
