Darwin is a cosmopolitan, tropical city situated on the edge of the Arafura sea in the Top End of the Northern Territory. It is the international gateway to Australia's Top End and the beautiful National Parks of Litchfield and Kakadu. The atmosphere is laid back and Darwin is the kind of place where you can take a cruise on the harbour, go diving, explore the museum and art gallery ... or just enjoy the local scene of outdoor living, markets, live bands, walks along the beach and watching the sun set
