Darwin is the international gateway to the Northern Territory. A modern city with superb harbour views. Darwin has a chequered past involving explorers, a railway, droving, mining & defence all of which are reflected in the present city.
Darwin Harbour ( twice the size of Sydney Harbour) is home to a wide variety of tropical fish, including barramundi, dolphins, turtles, sea snakes & crocodiles.
Australia's only tropical capital city boasts a population of 77,000 with about 20,000 more in the combined satellite city of Palmerston & the surrounding rural area. Approximately half the Northern Territory population live within a 40km radius of Darwin.
Within easy reach of the city are a wide variety of attractions. One of the most outstanding is the multi award winning Territory Wildlife Park. Lake Bennett, The Lakes Resort & Windows on the Wetlands provide further diversity.
It may be the city's relaxed lifestyle, the magnet of its attractions, the haunting majesty of the monsoonal storms, or the smell of the tropics, but people who experience Darwin never forget it.
