Darwin city
Discover the Northern Territory’s tropical capital that’s ready for adventure, year-round.
Not only the gateway to the Northern Territory, Darwin City is a destination in its own right. The capital is no stranger to adventure; you can jump on jet skis for a cruise around the Darwin harbour, fly over the city on a heli-pub-crawl, and cool off on the Aqua Park at the Darwin Waterfront – the biggest of its kind in Australia.
Get involved in Darwin’s emerging food scene through indulging your senses at the mouth-watering outdoor sunset market, sampling bush-tucker-inspired menus, tasting fresh seafood and trying a local icon: laksa for breakfast.
Whether you’ve come to Darwin for adventure, food, culture or history, there’s an endless summer of activities awaiting every traveller.
You’ve come to the right place!

🦆🐦⬛🦅🕊🦢🦜 CRIMSON FINCH …………….. LARRAKEYAH, NT Every evening we take Duke (our Weimaraner) for a walk around base just on dusk. I always threaten to take the camera but never do as it’s hard enough wrangling Duke as he is always in such a hurry, let alone carrying the camera as well - only so much my shoulders can take! But I always see dozens of birds - which is quite infuriating! Last night’s count was 17 and that was with only some of what we normally see. So seeing the car was getting serviced this morning, I took myself around the block. Good morning too - there was quite a bit of activity and counted 21 species in all! Amongst them, this gorgeous little Crimson Finch that was treating the barbed wire fence and vines like his own personal trapeze. He was a bit bossy towards the little juvenile double-barred finches that were having a family outing (will post them later), but I forgave him because he did this cute little upside down pose for me. Nice way to start the day 🥰 Heart flutters… © Petra Hughes. #finches #crimsonfinch #birdsofaustralia #birdphotography #darwin #birdwatching #darwinbirds
