Darwin
Trip Planning & Itineraries
6:18 PM Sunday, Jul 20
Sunny. Warm.
7 day forecast »
Darwin, the capital of northern Australia, is closer to Jakarta than it is to Sydney, and closer to Singapore than it is to Melbourne, so it should come as no surprise that it looks outward to Asia as much as it looks inland to the rest of Australia.
This proximity and familiarity with Australia's northern neighbors is reflected in Darwin's relaxed, cosmopolitan, tropical atmosphere. In a country that prides itself on its ethnic diversity, Darwin may be the most multicultural city of all.
Crocodile Adventure
Cruise along the Adelaide River searching for crocodiles. Face saltwater crocodiles up close and personal, as they leap out of the water to snatch food. Good stuff.
Katherine Gorge Cruise
This is one of the unforgettable experiences of the Top End. Journey to Nitmiluk National Park and cruise down Katherine Gorge. Keep an eye out for crocodiles and the splendid array of birdlife.
Festivals & Events in Darwin
There are beach parties and rock concerts on May Day, more to celebrate the absence of box jellyfish and the start of swimming season than to pay tribute to International Labor Day. The Royal Darwin Show is held in July.
Darwin's legendary thirst for beer is celebrated at the Beer Can Regatta in August, when a series of boat races are held for craft constructed entirely of beer cans. Other August festivities include the Rodeo and Mud Crab Tying Competition, and the Darwin Cup horse race.
