Darwin

(Australia)


Welcome to a tropical metropolis with crocodile sunsets.

The 'capital' of northern Australia is closer to Jakarta than it is to Sydney, and closer to Singapore than it is to Melbourne, so it should come as no surprise that it looks outward to Asia as much as it looks inland to the rest of Australia.

Getting There »

Darwin's airport services both international and domestic routes. Lots of flights run between Darwin and Indonesia, as well as to other spots in Southeast Asia. You can also fly to Darwin from all other states in Australia, although you might end up going via Alice Springs, Brisbane or Adelaide.

You can reach Darwin by bus on three routes - the Western Australian route from Broome, Derby, Port Hedland and Kununurra; the Queensland route through Mt Isa to Threeways and up the Track; or straight up the Track from Alice Springs.

The weekly Darwin-to-Adelaide (via Alice Springs and Katherine) train service leaves town on Wednesday mornings.
