Darwin Travel Guide
Darwin has played a significant role in the events that have shaped Australia's history.
So it’s no wonder Darwin plays a starring role in Baz Luhrmann’s epic feature film Australia.
Today Darwin still has a fascinating story. A vibrant, tropical city, with a diversity of experiences on offer to the traveller, with quality art, festivals, events, fishing, heritage trails and food.
With year-round temperatures in the low 30s and the heavenly swimming holes of Litchfield National Park on its doorstep, Darwin is an ideal tropical escape holiday.
Darwin is an excellent base to further explore the Top End, which also encompasses Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks, Arnhem Land, Tiwi Islands and Katherine.
There is so much to see and do, the more you explore, the more you will be rewarded.
