Reviews of Durack, NT
"overall good suburb"
close to gateway and highway, overall good suburb - quiet and relaxing. Not good for investment but good for family/couple living. However the place I stayed at got broken into once - suspected druggie who most likely went to the wrong place for drug dealers. Though this incident doesnt really change my overall point of this area, i wouldnt say it is a really safe suburb.

"Durack Review"
Nice secure location close to service station and shops, golf course and new water park, schools and child care facilities are within walking distance, surrounded by a golf course with plenty of paths for walking or for the kids to ride their bikes and scooters. Next to the university, football fields and tennis courts.

"Hedley Place"
We have lived in Hedley place for 2.5years. It is a safe, mainly owner occupied street. There is a lot of road noise from University Ave, but it does have a great convenience store and Golf course and Child care at the end of the street. There is no through traffic or pedestrians.
