You will find Darwin is an amazing place to relish a truly great Australian holiday.
Darwin has been shattered twice - first during World War II by the indentical Japanese bombers that destroyed Pearl harbour and the second time in 1974 by Cyclone Tracy. Since the reconstruction Darwin has prospered from tourism and mineral riches. The Town Hall did not survive and its skeleton can be seen opposite the earliest surviving building in Darwin, which was constructed in 1883 and is now known as Browns Mart.
Darwin has a open, ordered feel to it thanks to the wide streets, low buildings and open spacesspacious, manicured lawns. City streets give way to mangrove estuaries, and bright coloured leafage and huge sea tides. Darwin is about the size of a large country town but with all the services of a major city.
Towards the west is the Esplanade which displays spectacular sunsets. Large international hotels face the bay while joggers, power walkers and leisure walkers make the most of the many walk trails. The walk trails have superb views from many lookout points and a series of memorial sites, several commemorating World War II.
Aquascene is at the northern end of the Esplanade. Here hundreds of wild fish of varied species assemble to be handfed. Most come close enough to touch and all are harmless.
At the southern end of the Esplanade are Darwins official buildings – Parliament House, Government House. The Supreme Court is also found in this precinct and its foyer features an extraordinary floor mosaic configured by Aboriginal artist, Nora Napaltijari.
