As the capital of the Northern Territory, Darwin has the smallest population for an Australian capital city of just over 120,000 people.  Because of the vastness of the state, Darwin is the most populated area in the Northern Territory.  Hire cars really opens up the door for exploration of the region and gives travellers the ability to learn about the history of the area.

Darwin really is a gateway for the Asian countries that lie in close proximity to the shores of Australia, with East Timor and Indonesia sharing the opposite banks of the Timor Sea.  Because of this, Darwin is a multicultural hub that differs in comparisons to other ethnic diverse cities such as Brisbane and Sydney car rental agencies report.

The area is similar to most at the top end of Australia with tropical weather that incorporates a wet and dry season.  Darwin offers a modern feel as the city has had to re-establish itself after the bombing of World War II by the Japanese and then again after Cyclone Tracy hit in 1974.

Darwin relies heavily upon the Tourism Industry.  This means that the city provides many options for all styles and budgets when considering your accommodation.  Your preference for wining and dining will also be catered for and the multicultural feel is really highlighted when you visit the local restaurants and cafes and as Darwin is located on the coastline, the fresh seafood is superb.
