Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. Darwin is a vibrant multicultural and cosmopolitan city located right on the edge of the Timor Sea providing picturesque sunsets and a doorway to Asia.
The city has many kilometres of wide, unpolluted beaches including the well renowned Mindil Beach, home of the Mindil Beach markets
Fishing is one of the recreations of Darwin locals. Visitors from around the world flock to Darwin aiming to catch the prized barramundi, an iconic fish for the region. The Mary River, Daly River, South and East Alligator River are just a few of the water bodies where the barramundi thrive. Outstanding blue water fishing is also available off the coast of Darwin; Spanish mackerel, dhufish, queenfish, snapper and other varieties are all found in the area and accessible in a day trip from Darwin.
This city comes alive at night with the excitement of the hotels and nightclubs with DJs and live music; enjoy a meal at Cullen Bay or visit the casino at Mindil Beach .
The Northern Territory is renowned for its fabulous foods - Asian cuisine, buffalo, kangaroo, mud crabs, crocodile and barramundi. Choose to eat on the wharf overlooking the sea, or enjoy the pleasure of outdoor dining with harbour views or maybe it is silver service for treat. Whatever the style of dining, the food is fresh and fabulous.
For a relaxing weekend visit the open-air markets at Nightcliff and Mindil Beach where there are stalls of unique products form local arts and craftspeople. Try the authentic cuisine from all over Asia or a good Aussie barbecue. The markets are alive with street performances - musicians, performers, traditional Aboriginal culture, recitations of traditional Australian bush poetry, even try whip cracking lessons.
From Darwin access the national parks, indigenous culture, brilliant sunsets, incredible sights and world class fishing. Visit Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks . Kakadu is Australia's biggest national park and is 250 km from Darwin . It is an area you can spend days exploring and has the most Aboriginal rock art sites in one place in the world.
