Darwin is a small yet cosmopolitan city. It is on the Timor Sea (a branch of the Indian Ocean) in north-central Australia. Darwin is the tropical capital city of the Northern Territory. Darwin has a relaxed lifestyle and unique multiculturalism, where people from over 50 different cultures live and work side by side. The regular Asian-style markets that form an intrinsic part of the everyday Darwin landscape for local residents sea food, music, language, and culture from just about every Asian nation, alongside crocodile hunters, local Aboriginal artists, musicians of every genre, sports fishing operators, sunset sails, and families with children playing on the beach. Darwin's unique cosmopolitan makeup has been recognised as an multicultural icon of national significance by the Australian National Trust.
Darwin was first named in 1839 by John Lort Stokes during the third voyage of the Beagle. It was named after his former shipmate and famous naturalist Charles Darwin. Darwin's development was accelerated by the discovery of gold at Pine Creek, about 200 km south of the city in 1871. After the gold rush Darwin's growth slowed mainly due to the harsh, tropical climate, distance and poor communications with other Australian cities. The Second World War put Darwin back on the map when the town became an important base for Allied action against the Japanese in the Pacific. The road south to the railhead at Alice Springs was surfaced, putting the city in direct contact with the rest of the country. Modern Darwin is one of Australia's most cosmopolitan cities, more open to Asia than perhaps any other Australian city. It plays an important role as the door to Australia's northern region. Natural wonders such as Kakadu, Katherine Gorge, and Litchfield are all within driving distance from the city and still contain near pre-colonial populations of crocodiles, goannas, snakes and wallabies. Today Darwin is a fast growing regional centre that has unique history, culture and adventure.
Driving is the best way to comprehensively see Darwin. Many of the sights are spread out, parking is easy and traffic is usually free flowing. There is a public bus service, which is useful for accessing areas close to the city. The services are more frequent closer to the central area where the routes overlap, but you will need to plan according to the timetable to get anywhere else - some services only run a couple of times a day.
Darwin’s downtown dining hub encompasses Mitchell and Knuckey Streets and is brimming with restaurants, cafes and pubs. Dinner in Darwin can be classy or casual, but always relaxed. For breakfast, Café Uno serves a tasty toasted avocado, tomato and cheese croissant, and coffee lovers should head to Café 21 in the mall. For something a little different, try the coconut loaf with lemon curd at Roma Bar or French toast with maple syrup and bacon at Ducks Nuts Bar and Grill.
Darwin is a hub for tours to Kakadu National Park, Litchfield National Park and Katherine Gorge. The Territory is traditionally divided into the wet and dry, but there are up to six traditional seasons in Darwin. It is warm and sunny from May to September. Humidity rises during the green season, from October to April bringing thunderstorms and monsoonal rains which rejuvenates the landscape. Tourism is largely seasonal with most tourists visiting during the cooler dry season which runs from April to September.

The ex-cop boosting Indigenous jobs using traditional bush foods | ABC News
For years, Wellington, in country New South Wales, has had more than its fair share of bad headlines. Jobs are hard to come by, and stiff competition means Indigenous applicants often miss out. But one former police officer is trying to change all that with, of all things, cake.

D.I.Wireless FEST OR BUST Tour - EPISODE 5
WEBSITE - diwireless.com.au
FACEBOOK - facebook.com/diwireless
TWITTER - twitter.com/diwireless
EPISODE 5 follows the tour on it's last leg into Gainesville. Through the tiny town of Valdosta, Georgia and into the chaos of two pre-fest nights in Orlando, Florida. It features interview with Ninja Gun, Mikey Erg and Go Rydel as well as snippets from our interviews with Tony Weinbender and PJ Francher from the Fest crew.
In October 2011, the makers of D.I.Wireless podcast embarked on a month-long road trip down the east coast of the United States to attend the 10th anniversary of THE FEST in Gainesville, Florida.
Along the way they met a number of bands who make the same pilgrimage year after year to one of the biggest punk rock parties ever forgotten.
The series captures thoughts about hometown scenes as well as what makes THE FEST so unique - told by those who play the theatres, bars and cafes, but are also in the thick of the debauchery just as much as the thousands of people from around the world who swarm to Gainesville every year.
All 6 episodes will debut on thefestfl.com as well as on diwireless.com.au with a new episode online every 2 weeks.
