Things to do when you cruise into Darwin

Follow us on Google News

Welcome to Australia’s Northern Territory where you’ll find the most northerly capital city in Australia, Darwin. This stunning harbourside city looks out at the Timor Sea and is the only tropical capital in the country.  Darwin, at first glance, may seem far removed from its neighbouring states, but that’s actually what adds to its charm. To make the most of your visit to this part of the country we’ve scouted out the six things to do when you visit Darwin.
Stock up on essentials
Stocking up on your essentials is an absolute breeze in Darwin. From pharmacies to supermarkets, souvenir shops, market stalls and more, travellers will find these outlets within walking distance of each other. The popular shopping streets include Smith Street and Mitchell Street. To head out to the heart of Darwin you can follow the scenic walkway beside the seawall and through to the skywalk. The walk alone will be refreshing and will help you explore more of this quirky city.
The crocs are a must
What’s a trip to Darwin – the land of Crocodile Dundee without saying hello to its saltwater crocs? You’ll find plenty of these ancient monsters lurking in the waters of the nearby national parks, but for real daredevils, there is the opportunity to plunge into the ‘Cage of Death’ at Crocosaurus Cove and get a close look at these reptilian beasts. If you prefer a little more distance you can see the saltwater crocs being fed by a team of croc experts.
Darwin’s moment in WWII
To the surprise of many visitors, Darwin has its own unique place in the history of World War II. The city came under attack in 1942 by close to 200 fighter aircrafts and is proud to share its story with visitors. Inquisitive minds and history buffs will have a field day in Darwin. The ‘Bombing of Darwin Harbour Experience’ can be found at the Stokes Hill Wharf. With virtual reality headsets and giant holograms, visitors will no doubt feel as if they’ve been taken back in time.
