Faculties closed, AFL cancelled, residents brace as BoM points Cyclone warning for Darwin

The strategy of the storm has already triggered widespread disruption. Faculties have closed in Minjilang, Warruwi, Milikapiti and Pirlangimpi, ferry operations between Darwin, the Tiwi Islands and Mandorah have been suspended, and Charles Darwin College has shut its Darwin campuses. AFL NT cancelled weekend fixtures, though colleges in Darwin itself stay open at this stage.
