6 Oleander Street, Nightcliff NT 810, Australia
The name originated from an 1839 nighttime landing by HMS Beagle crew near a cliffy projection, which they called ‘Night Cliff’. The term appeared on Surveyor‑General Goyder’s 1869 map and was officially adopted in 1948.
Nightcliff hosts a popular Sunday market from 6 am to 2 pm featuring food, crafts, and live music. The annual Seabreeze Festival in the second week of May offers family festivities along the foreshore.
A long foreshore footpath is nearby for walking and cycling, with access to Nightcliff Jetty, Nightcliff Beach and the Nightcliff Swimming Pool. Several parks such as Topsy Secretary Juwaning Park and Nightcliff Oval are within a few hundred metres.
Residents can join well‑established clubs including the Nightcliff Football Club, Nightcliff Dragons (rugby), and the Nightcliff Baseball Club, all based in the local community.
A library, post office and police station are each about 0.2 km from 6 Oleander Street, providing convenient access to community and safety services.
The suburb sits on a coastal fringe with the Night Cliff itself nearby, though the cliffs have experienced erosion of around 2 m in recent years, leading to sea‑wall reinforcement in some areas.
