Darwin is a unique destination best known for its incredible natural attractions, however there are plenty of other things to see and do including museums, galleries, historical landmarks, iconic markets and nature-based activities. No visit to Darwin would be complete without experiencing the distinctive local Indigenous culture either.
Soak up some history at the Northern Territory Museum of Arts and Sciences and explore the ancient Aboriginal art exhibits and artefacts as well as strange seafaring vessels. Don’t forget to stop and say hello to Sweetheart the stuffed crocodile. Situated inside an old prison which was operational from 1883 to 1979, the Fannie Bay Gaol Museum offers informative displays on the city’s development. For a different side of Darwin, explore the nation’s war history at the East Point Reserve Military Museum and discover artillery items and authentic bunkers from years past.
Visit the Territory Wildlife Park for an in-depth insight into tropical Australia’s diversity including the opportunity to get up close and personal to local crocodiles. Seeing these prehistoric creatures in their natural habitat is nothing short of amazing so join a Jumping Crocodiles Cruise if you dare.
Of course you can’t visit Darwin without taking the time to step outside the city and explore the breathtaking natural environment. There are a number of national parks right on the city’s doorstep and Litchfield National Park is perhaps the most popular. Famous for its monsoonal rainforests and cascading waterfalls, the scenery is awe-inspiring and will make you realise just how majestic Mother Nature really is.
