Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory with a population of over 110,000 people. Darwin is built on a low-lying peninsula located on a working harbour that’s twice the size of Sydney Harbour. The suburbs are lined with tropical palms with a mixture of low set southern Australian style houses and traditional elevated Darwin housing which are built to benefit from the tropical breezes.
With warm weather all year round, the climate is perfect for the open air markets at Parap, Palmerston, Nightcliff, Rapid Creek and Mindil Beach, where you'll find a range of foods on offer as well as locally made arts and crafts.
Beyond the city you can sail across the harbour to the Tiwi Islands, glide across wetlands and spot local wildlife, or cool off under a waterfall in Litchfield National Park.
