Darwin,
a vibrant, tropical capital city on a deepwater port,
is a gateway to the Top End and Kimberley regions.
Set on one of Australia's prettiest harbours, opening out onto
the brilliant waters of the Arafura Sea, this vibrant,
tropical city has a free-spirited, open-air lifestyle. There
are beaches, bays and waterholes to explore and enjoy and it
is not surprising that the water is the place to be as Darwin
has an average daily temperature in the low 30s (Celsius).

In
the dry season, May to October, visit Casuarina, Fannie
Bay, Mindil and Vestys Beaches, all close to the city.
However from late October to early May, venomous box
jellyfish make beaches and open waterways places to
avoid. Luckily Darwin has plenty of popular freshwater
swimming spots nearby, to take advantage of these
times, such as Howard Springs, Berry Springs and Manton
Dam.
Darwin is closer to Asia than Sydney, so it has the vigour and
diversity you would expect of a city that is home to 50 ethnic
groups. Along with Aboriginal culture, these influences help
mould a unique restaurant, market and cultural scene.
The region has some 20 national parks and reserves - some
famous, like Kakadu National Park, and some hidden treasures,
just as rich in dramatic beauty, wildlife and Aboriginal
culture. Coburg Marine Park, Umbrawarra Gorge, Butterfly Gorge
or Tjuwaliyn Hot Springs are just some.
