Darwin Mini Guide

Located in the north of Australia the small city of Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory. This is a good base from which to venture out into the wild parts of Australia and see all sorts of reptiles and marsupials.

And even if you stay close to Darwin itself there are many excellent nature parks such as the Casuarina Coastal Reserve and the Charles Darwin National Park.
Darwin was named after the naturalist Charles Darwin but it was actually discovered by Darwin’s shipmate John Lort Stokes. Originally named Port Darwin, the city’s development really took off when gold was found there in the 1870s.

Darwin has the unenviable distinction of being the only capital city in Australia to have come under proper attack during the Second World War. Visit Darwin Wharf Precinct in the city centre to find out about the history of the attack. For more information call ahead on +61 (8) 8981 4268.

When visiting Darwin bear in mind that it has a tropical climate and is sometimes affected by cyclones. The temperatures rarely drop below 30 degrees Celsius in Darwin but the best time of year to visit is during the summer months of December to March.
Because of this tropical climate there are mosquitoes and so you should bring repellent with you. Other critters to keep an eye out for are crocodiles so make sure the area you are thinking of swimming in has been deemed safe (don’t camp near water either) and the deadly boxed jellyfish, to be found in the sea between October and May. Snakes may be in areas of long grass too so be careful when walking.

You will want to have a car in this part of the world especially as Darwin International Airport is situated around 15 kilometres to the north east of the city centre. Once you have picked up your Rhino rental car it gives you the freedom to explore nearby areas of outstanding natural beauty such as the Litchfield National Park which has walks, waterfalls and wonderful views. You can also drive to Berry Springs Nature Park which is a great place to have a picnic and take a dip. Bring your snorkelling gear.
Within the city centre there are a couple of interesting heritage centres as well as an old jail which you can take a free tour of.
