Outback Capital of the Northern Territory
The smallest of Australia’s state capitals, Darwin has nevertheless become an attractive and important urban center, being simultaneously one of the country’s most modernized cities and a gateway to both the Top End region and South East Asia.Change things up with a short trip to Litchfield National Park in Batchelor (about 1h 45 min away). Spend the 21st (Fri) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. Plan for a day of cool, family-friendly fun on the 26th (Wed) at Darwin Waterfront. There's lots more to do: kick back and relax at Mindil Beach, take an in-depth tour of RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility, take an unforgettable tour with a helicopter tour, and see the interesting displays at Defence of Darwin Experience.
