The Northern Territory is renowned for crocodiles, barramundi fishing and ancient, iconic scenery from Litchfield to Kakadu, Arnhem Land and Nitmiluk Gorge. Darwin is the ideal launch pad for these adventures, writes Nannette Holliday.
This laid-back, oversized country town and Australia’s most northern capital city is a vibrant melting pot of indigenous culture, exotic Asian market cuisines, wartime history, expressive street art, cool laneway cafes, funky hidden bars, a chilling waterfront and breathtaking kaleidoscopic sunsets all year round. Darwin has something for everyone, even if you’re only in town for 48 hours or less.
