Australia’s northern-most city is a captivating blend of cultures set amidst a profusion of tropical vegetation.
Darwin's city centre is great for arts and crafts shopping, while the nearby wharf precinct is perfect for alfresco dining. To savour Darwin's tropical vegetation, take an early morning walk in the pretty Botanic Gardens.

It is close to Kakadu and the wetlands, waterfalls, woodlands and Aboriginal rock art galleries of this fascinating national park. Don't expect too much formality up in the Northern Territory with its tropical climate.
