Thousands of meatballs and dolmades on menu at Greek GleNTi festival in Darwin
Preparing for Darwin's largest annual multicultural festival is no easy feat, with a small army of volunteers having been hard at work for weeks to put on a feast for this year's GleNTi. Throughout the past week, thousands of meatballs and dolmades have been rolled and tonnes of seafood has been prepared for the major Greek festival. It has all been to ensure that the tens of thousands of attendees at the beloved annual event leave full and satisfied. Since its launch in 1988, GleNTi has grown in size every year to become one of the biggest weekends on Darwin's social calendar. These days GleNTi is a two-day extravaganza, with food, dancing, music and plate-smashing filling the busy schedule at Bicentennial Park on the Darwin Esplanade. Michael Koulianos, president of the Greek Orthodox Community of Northern Australia, which organises GleNTi, said the festival was an annual highlight of Darwin's event calendar. "It's a celebration of our Greek heritage, but also of our families, our community and our standing in the NT," he said. "It brings us all together. It brings friends, families but also the wider community together as well". On Wednesday, members of the Greek community held a working bee to wrap dolmades for the festival. The parcels, which are often called "fylla" by Darwin's predominantly Kalymnian Greek population, are made of grapevine leaves stuffed with rice, meat, herbs and spices. Katina Vrodos, who has been making dolmades her whole life, said they were one of the festival's highlights. "I started [making dolmades] in Greek school … and have continued all these years," she said. She keeps a keen eye on the volunteers, ensuring quality standards are upheld. "This recipe is mine from more than 40 years ago," she said. The preparation is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. High school student Anna Koulianos — Mr Koulianos's daughter — was among the young people who pitched in. "I have memories sitting at my Yiya's table at her house, her teaching me how to do it from a really young age," she said. She joked that she felt the pressure of carrying on a tradition so deeply protected by her grandmothers, but also said the practice made her feel "at home". There were several other workshops held throughout the week, including rolling meatballs, or "keftedes", and preparing honey puffs, also called "loukoumades". Organisers say all up, there will be about 3 tonnes of souvla, 600 kilograms of dolmades, 2 tonnes of octopus and 800kg of calamari — though the true numbers are hard to quantify. Many hands made light work of the preparations, with the working bees drawing volunteers from beyond the Greek community. "We've got Darwin High School, we've got St John [Ambulance] volunteer corps and a lot of other non-profit organisations taking part as well, including the Filipino community," Mr Koulianos said. Politicians also rolled up their sleeves and got to work, with federal MP Luke Gosling and NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro among the volunteers. "We start our preparations in January every year, but the last three months are quite intense," Mr Koulianos said. "That's when we really gear up, and obviously the last month is sleepless nights to really get everything done." However, not all the preparations for this year's GleNTi have been smooth sailing. On Friday, the day before the festival kicked off, an NT Health investigator found one of the GleNTi stallholders, the Kalymnian Brotherhood, had breached food safety standards when preparing their tonnes of octopus. In a statement, an NT Health spokesperson said it had deemed the octopus "unsuitable for consumption". "As a result, Environmental Health Officers have requested the provider dispose of the affected octopus," the spokesperson said. NT Health said the decision would have a "very minor impact" on the festival. In a Facebook post, the Kalymnian Brotherhood denied any wrongdoing and said the investigators made "false accusations". "We want to make it clear our octopus prep was conducted properly and in the correct manner," they said. The Kalymnian Brotherhood said in the same post the group would not take part in this year's festival as a result. Mr Koulianos said organisers had found a solution and octopus would still be available. "We did stay up all night, rang some suppliers [and] local distributors, and found octopus, so we are definitely going to have octopus this GleNTi," he said. "I think it's going to be enough, probably about a tonne. "Normally we sell about two tonnes over the GleNTi weekend, but it's going to be enough for people to taste it, let's put it that way". GleNTi is being held on Saturday and Sunday at the Bicentenial Park on Darwin's Esplanade.

What's on: Barunga, Beer Can Regatta, Finke and GleNTi equals plenty of fun for Territorians
WHAT'S ON THIS WEEKEND It's arguably the fullest weekend of the year, so if I am honest, I really hope you've already got your plans sorted, Darwin. The Barunga Festival is on this weekend, which will see people pack up and head just a little way out the Central Arnhem Rd (It's far enough to play 'Let's Go' by King Stingray, for sure) to enjoy a three-day program of music, sport, and cultural events. And if you're lucky enough to be heading to the Red Centre for the adrenaline-pumping Finke Desert Race, you're in for a good time. But what if you're staying in town? Have you heard of the Over 30s Club? If it sounds lame, you're probably still in your kebab at 3am on Mitchell St era and I'm so happy for you – but if you're interested in a boogie without the late-night taxi home: The Over 30s starts at 5pm on Saturday at Discovery – and wraps up at 9pm. Delightful. For even more wholesome fun, please head to Mindil Beach on Sunday for the iconic Beer Can Regatta. This event is one of those ones that makes you look around and laugh and think 'gosh I love you Darwin'. It's equal parts chaos and hilarity – it's unpolished community spirit and classic Darwin fun. SOMEWHERE YOU NEED TO EAT If you thought I was missing something in the what's on section … don't worry – how could I miss the GleNTi. The Greek GleNTi is a huge festival where the Greek community share their culture … and amazing food, all day Saturday and Sunday. Last year we went for lunch, then came back for an early dinner to try something else, and then stayed for the Ouzo and Loukoumades, which is how I highly recommend you experience all of the food. LOCALS TIP Reminiscing about the Finke while writing this article got me thinking about Central Australia. I've been seeing a lot of love letters to Alice lately, and I also agree that there's just something about the Centre – I still can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel it every time. I think it might be something to do with the complete stillness when you stop for a moment at the top of Kings Canyon, and the feeling you get when floating above the contrasting reds and greens at sunrise. It's probably also the warm days but crisp air at night, and how fresh it feels to dive into a cold desert oasis after a day in the sun. It's the culture and the stories, learning about Arrernte country. Maybe it's the feeling when you're driving through the ranges, and every corner you turn makes you say 'wow look at that' out loud – again. So if this long weekend has you thinking about planning a trip for the next one – consider a trip south down the Stuart Highway.
