Darwin
Darwin is the tropical capital city of Australia's Northern Territory.
It has a relaxed outdoor lifestyle and enjoys warm weather all
year round. Perched on a peninsula with sea on three sides, Darwin is
an excellent base to explore the natural attractions of World Heritage
listed Kakadu National Park, Litchfield and
Nitmiluk National Parks, the Tiwi
Islands and Arnhem Land.
Its colourful history has contributed
to the Darwin's cultural diversity - more than 50 nationalities
make up its 100,000 population, including the area's traditional
landowners, the Larrakia Aboriginal people. The cultural and culinary
benefits of such a melting pot are best experienced at its weekly
markets, variety of restaurants and through its annual calendar
of festivals and events.
