Darwin, capital of the largest Australian mainland territory, is named after the English evolutionist and naturalist Charles Darwin who ironically has never been to the place although he has visited Australia. British captain John Lort Strokes who after his visit into this alluring harbor named the city after his friend Charles Darwin. Anthropologists as one of world's oldest races recognize the aboriginal tribes that have lived for many thousands of years in the northern area known as the Top End. Despite a struggle-full history, Darwin has grown into a multi cultural modern city, with a relaxed atmosphere, great beauty and a distinctly Asian feel. To visit this wondrous place, join us on Travel to Darwin.

| Capital of northern Australia, Darwin is a major stop for travelers and an obvious base for trips to Kakadu and other Top End natural attractions. It's a tropical oasis. The industries in Darwin include mining (uranium and copper), fruit and meat canning, and brickmaking, while in the surrounding area pastoral farming, tropical horticulture (producing rice, bananas, mangoes, rock melons, Chinese cabbage, avocado, and other fruits), and tourism are important occupations.
Darwin is the most northerly city of Australia, and the finishing point of a number of routes in the region.Twice the size of Sydney harbor, the Darwin harbor overlooks the Arafura Sea, offering an assortment of waterfront delights including superb dining, cruising, or wreck diving on the shores. |
The region has some 20 national parks and reserves such as the Kakadu National Park, and some hidden treasures, Coburg Marine Park, Umbrawarra Gorge, Butterfly Gorge or Tjuwaliyn Hot Springs and some more just as rich in spectacular beauty, wildlife and aboriginal culture. To experience these grandeurs yourself, join us on Travel to Darwin. |
