Darwin Northern Territory

Darwin, the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory, is located three hours west of Kakadu and is an ideal base to visit the many surrounding wilderness areas such as Kakadu, the Tiwi Islands and Litchfield National Park. The city is blessed with year-round warm weather and a colourful culture influenced by the ethically diverse population – from European, to Asian, to Indigenous Australian. Darwin is an artistic city dotted with many museums and galleries, some of which specialise in Aboriginal art sourced from surrounding communities. The history of the city is rich and varied, with events such as the World War II bombings and Cyclone Tracey shaping contemporary Darwin.
