About Darwin

Darwin is Australia's northernmost capital city and a relaxed tropical port with a distinctive frontier character shaped by WWII and successive waves of Asian immigration. Ships dock at Fort Hill Wharf, and top attractions include the poignant Darwin Military Museum, the colorful Mindil Beach Sunset Market (seasonal), and the nearby Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO site about three hours away. The city is small and walkable.
