The city of Darwin is the gateway to the Top End and a cultural destination in its own right. Its surrounding districts and towns have much to offer the traveller.

Visitors invariably rave about the city's bustling markets, its gorgeous harbour, memorable sunsets, spirited nightlife and welcoming locals. There are a number of attractions within easy reach of Darwin, perfect for laid back excursions not requiring too much of a drive.

Half and hour south of Darwin, the Berry Springs Nature Park is a popular recreational area for locals. The bubbling springs and their network of pools provide a rejuvenating freshwater swimming experience. Even closer the Darwin, swimmers can splash around with huge barramundi at the Howard Springs Nature Park.

Further south along the Stuart Highway, turn off at Bachelor for Litchfield National Park - a great place to see stunning waterfalls, incredible termite mounds and cool off with a dip in one of its famous rock pools. Dundee Beach and Mandorah Beach boast huge stretches of sandy shoreline, perfect for long walks and keen fisherman.

Location

The Australian Top End is a tropical region on the remote tip of the massive dry Northern Territory.

How to get there

The Top End's reputation as an isolated region is long gone. Darwin is linked by the Stuart and Western Highways to Alice Springs, Adelaide and Melbourne in the south, and along interstate Highways to Cairns and Brisbane in the east.

Flights arrive daily from major capital cities across Australia.

Airport from the city

Darwin International Airport is 12.5 kilometres from the city centre.

Climate

The Top End has two seasons; the wet season from the end of October to the beginning of May and the dry season from the beginning of May to the end of October.

Although rainfall in the Top End is decidedly seasonal, its consistent year-round warm temperatures have earned it the tropical tag.
