About Darwin
Darwin is the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory. It
is a multicultural city that has a very tropical climate. Although
more known as the gateway to the territory and the world famous Uluru (Ayres
Rock), the city
of Darwin is a popular destination in its own right and offers
surprising sophistication given its remoteness.
Darwin is recognised as a linchpin which links Australia's trade, communications,
transport and logistics networks to those of south East Asia and beyond. It has
a modern international airport terminal, connections to the national road and
rail network and world-class seaport facilities.
On a lighter note Darwin has also welcome know for the "Darwin
Awards" which salute the improvement of mankind by honouring those who remove
themselves from it . in other words, people who do terribly idiotic things.
