Darwin may be closer to Bali than Bondi, but the tropical capital of the Northern Territory is 100% Aussie. A blend of both vibrant coastal city and relaxed outback escape, Darwin offers an eclectic mix of experiences, from waterfront dining and outdoor beach markets, to crocodile encounters and wetlands.

Darwin is the perfect base for those looking to explore the splendour of the Northern Territory. No visit to the Top End is complete without experiencing the exquisite landscapes, abundant wildlife and pristine river systems of the Litchfield and World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park.
