Darwin
50,000 years of rich Aboriginal culture, waterfront dining and plenty of watering holes welcome you to the capital of the Northern Territory.
A true tropical lifestyle serving up plenty of seafood and sun downers, Darwin is a great jump off to explore the region and a serious attraction in its own right. Spot croc traps from a ferry way across the harbour to visit the Tiwi Islands or head a short 90 minutes to the majestic waterfalls, swimming holes and towering termite mounds at Litchfield National Park. Take a wildlife airboat safari on the Mary River Wetlands or heli ride over the city and billabongs for an unforgettable way to see the entire region.
Darwin was attacked 64 times throughout WWII and many historic battlements remain for inspection. Well worth a visit is an impressive testament to these tough times at the Defence of Darwin Experience and the awesome aircraft on display at the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre.
Grab a relaxing lunch at the Darwin waterfront precinct or get up close and personal with the giant resident crocs of Crocosaurus Cove in downtown Darwin. There are endless unique things to do in Darwin for a fulfilling trip to the top end.
