Discover Darwin

Darwin is set upon one of Australia's prettiest harbours, opening out onto the brilliant, jewel-like waters of the Arafura Sea. This vibrant, tropical city has a free-spirited, open-air lifestyle blessed with a range of waterfront delights.
Beaches, bays and waterholes are there aplenty to explore and enjoy. The beaches are popular places to cool off on a hot day - not surprising as Darwin has an average daily temperature in the low 30s (Celsius).
In the dry season, May to October, visit Casuarina, Fannie Bay, Mindil and Vestys Beaches, all close to the city. However from late October to early May, venomous box jellyfish make beaches and open waterways places to avoid. Luckily Darwin has plenty of popular freshwater swimming spots nearby, to take advantage of these times, such as Howard Springs, Berry Springs and Manton Dam.
The harbour itself offers a host of activities; there is nothing like a sunset cruise, and keen divers will want to explore the many sunken wrecks - there thanks to Darwin's involvement in World War II!
The wharf precincts are perfect for those who like to dine out with a water view. The Darwin Wharf precinct and Cullen Bay are becoming a hot spots for those who want fine dining in a relaxed environment.
