DARWIN


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.
