Getting Out and About in Darwin
Darwin is a fantastic, relaxed town in Australia’s Northern Territory. When visiting, you are going to want to book a car hire for Darwin to hit all the best spots and things to do. Unlike the major cities, driving in Darwin is as cruisey as the town itself, only really busy around the waterfront. Remember, ocean swimming is only possible for part of the year in Darwin, like it is in Northern Queensland due to the risk of jellyfish.
Darwin is a fantastic place to learn about Aboriginal art and culture, particularly at the museum and art gallery of the Northern Territory. For history buffs, you might be interested to know that Darwin houses the best information on Australia’s role in World War 2.
Outside of the city is where this corner at the top of Australia truly shines. Kakadu National Park is a UNESCO world heritage site with such a unique biodiversity and landscape that’s open for you to explore. Just pick up the Arnhem Highway out of town for about an hour and a half. Katherine Gorge is also a popular destination and you’ll really feel like you’re on a proper outback road trip, even if you are only exploring for a day or two. This is a beautiful, serene place perfect for exploring and wildlife spotting.
