Where does Jessica Mauboy live now?
After seven years of long-distance dating, Magripilis relocated from Darwin to Sydney in September 2016 and moved in with Mauboy.
Darwin is the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory and a former frontier outpost. It’s also a gateway to the massive Kakadu National Park. Its popular waterfront area has several beaches and green areas like Bicentennial Park. Also near the water is the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, displaying Southeast Asian and Pacific art, plus a pearling lugger and other seafaring vessels.
The Darwin-born musician said memories of heading out on a dinghy to lay crab traps with her dad, local market food, and the smells of the tropical city, have kept her grounded.
