Where?

Darwin, Australia's only tropical capital city, boasts a population of 80,000 with 20,000 more living in the city of Palmerston and the surrounding rural area.

Darwin, Northern Territory

It is a great place to visit all year round, but you should know the seasons so you are prepared. The dry season (clear blue skies, low humidity, warm sunshine) is from approximately April-Oct. The build up is about Nov-Dec, where there is high humidity. The spectacular tropical storms come during the wet season, Jan-May. With Darwin as your base the major attractions of the Top End are readily accessible.

To the north of Darwin are the Tiwi Islands, Bathurst and Melville, abundant in arts and crafts, and the colourful culture of the Tiwi people.

South of Darwin is Litchfield National Park and the magnificent Katherine region boasting the work renowned Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) National Park. Further exploring the Katherine region you will find such treasures as Boroloola, Roper River, Mataranka, Victoria River, the Daly Region and many other locations that will truly amaze you.

East of the city discover the untouched wetlands of the Mary River Region with their amazing array of birds and wildlife and one of Australia's greatest treasures, the World Heritage listed Kakadu National Park.
