Darwin & Area Trip Planner

Welcome to Darwin & Area!

Darwin is the capital of the Australia's Northern Territory. It is the continent's smallest regional capital, and its intimate harbour is the usual gathering place for locals and visitors alike. The Darwin Wharf sustained heavy damage during the Second World War, and was bombarded once again during 1974's disastrous cyclone, Tracy. It has since been refreshed and rebuilt, and offers views from the terraces of restaurants and cafes north over the Timor Sea, where dolphins convene and yachts sail silently. Influenced by its proximity to Southeast Asia, the ambiance is distinctly tropical.

Always a multi-cultural city, more than half of Darwin College's student body is comprised of international students. A unique attraction can be found at high tide at Aquascene, where milkfish, mullet, catfish, bream and barramundi teem in the waters, jostling each other to be hand-fed by visitors. Darwin's Parliament House is Australia's newest, and boasts an interesting cavernous interior, and the Darwin Crocodile Farm features Australia's most well-known and vicious residents simply being themselves.
