00:02Fresh, frozen, shaken or baked, the rural town of Berry Springs going mad for mangoes.
00:11What does the term mango madness mean to you?
00:14This, sweating, the build up.
00:16It means wake up, mango, lunchtime, mango, snack, snack, mango, bedtime, mango.
00:22What does that mango madness mean to you? What do you reckon it means?
00:25I think I'm experiencing it today.
00:28Hundreds flocked to the festival celebrating the arrival of mango season
00:32with produce from local farms on offer for bargain prices.
00:36Eating mangoes as much as I can.
00:38Nice cold mango from the fridge. Eat it fresh, but it's nice and ripe.
00:43The sweetest one you could get. Ah, bliss.
00:46It's been a challenging harvest for growers in Darwin and Catherine this year
00:51due to unusual weather, but despite the yield being down,
00:54there was still more than enough to go around, even some left over for mango shot put.
01:00How many mangoes do you reckon we've gotten through?
01:02Oh my goodness, I've got no idea. We had boxes and boxes of them.
01:07The heat was no match for people's desire to get a taste of the golden goodness.
01:12It's been so busy. It's been amazing. We've had so many people trying to get in and parking.
01:19We had to increase the size of the car park at one stage.
01:22There's just been more and more people, and this year when I turned up,
01:25I thought, oh my goodness, this is huge.
01:28A chance to enjoy the sweet side of the sweaty season.
01:32A chance to enjoy the healthy season.
01:33A chance to enjoy the healthy season.
01:38The healthy season is perfect.
01:39You can enjoy the healthy season.
01:39The healthy season is perfect.
