Description
Darwin, the tropical capital city of Australia's Northern Territory
Darwin, a small yet cosmopolitan city, is the tropical capital city of the Northern Territory. People from more than 50 nations make up its population of 110,000. It is located on the Northern Territory coast, with the Timor Sea to the west, and the Arafura Sea to the north in Indonesian waters.
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 form an intrinsic part of the everyday Darwin landscape, for local residents see 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.
Darwin's tropical climate has two major seasons: the 'dry', from about May to October, and the 'wet', from November to April. There is also the 'build up', the time from the end of the dry, leading into the wet when the humidity rises, but the rain doesn't fall. The arrival of the wet is always a welcome break from the buildup.
Darwin is also the only Australian capital city to have come under substantial attack during a war. On 19 February 1942, Japanese planes made two major air raids on Darwin from the aircraft carrier fleet that had attacked Pearl Harbor less than 3 months earlier. These were the first of 64 air attacks sustained by the city during World War II, the last being on 12 November 1943.

Darwin Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Darwin – Welcome to the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory. This coastal city has lots on offer; check out our video to see the best spots to visit.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Darwin:
Also known as “The Top End,” #Darwin perches on the Timor Sea, giving it striking views of the ocean. Due to its distance from other Australian cities, it is somewhat isolated, leading to a real sense of small-town community despite its status as a large city.
Get a taste of this community during your Darwin #vacation by stopping at the Mindil Beach Markets; on Thursdays and Sundays, you can run into almost half the city as residents turn out to shop at the various vendors and devour local multicultural cuisine.
Get outdoors at Crocadylys Park, which is filled with Darwin’s legendary salt and freshwater crocodiles. The Darwin region is home to over 20 national parks, so you can get a taste of the Australian outback without venturing too far from civilization.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Fishing Darwin | Barramundi | Northern Territory | Australia
In this video I head to the wilds of Darwin in the Northern Territory to get into the world class barramundi fishing available within minutes of the City. I team up with my mate Drew and we head out on his boat to cast soft plastics at the edges of a creek as the tide falls.
When the tide is falling the bait fish have nowhere to hide and cling to the edges of the creek, where the Barramundi hunt them and we hunt for the Barramundi.
I was using my Shimano Nasci and Sedona (2500 size) with a Pflueger Trion Transcendent Travel Rod and I started off by using a Jiggle Fishing 2.5” Paddle grub (in pearl) ( available at ) on a new 1/6 Bullet jig head. I was actually a little nervous using such light gear, but it all handled really well and got the Barra to the boat.
I really gotta say that the motorguide attached to the front of Drew’s boat made this style of fishing very easy and I’d definitely be chucking one of them on a boat if I had one.
Drew managed to get the biggest Barra on a 4” Paddle Tail Shad (in Olive). (available at )

Darwin City Video Guide | Expedia
Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory, in the “top end” of Australia.
Traditionally the home of the Larrakia People, Darwin was settled by Europeans in 1869. The city’s isolation has meant that its population has always been low, which is just the way its laid-back residents like it.
On Thursdays and Sundays, locals and visitors head to the Mindil Beach Markets to shop, dance and enjoy foods from all over the world. At sunset, head down to the beach as the sun dips into the Arafura Sea, then catch a movie under the stars at the Deck Chair Cinema.
Learn about the city’s military history, at the Defense of Darwin Experience and the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre. At the Darwin Museum and Art Gallery, discover the region’s local cultures and unique natural environment.
To experience the Northern Territory’s most fearsome residents, pay a visit to Crocodylus Park and Crocosaurus Cove, home to some of the largest captive saltwater crocodiles on the planet.
There are over 20 national parks in the Darwin region, including popular Litchfield National Park. Just an hour and a half from Darwin, Litchfield is set around a sandstone plateau, crisscrossed by deep, narrow gorges filled with monsoon forests, waterfalls and croc-free swimming holes.
Kakadu National Park is a three-hour drive from Darwin. Half the size of Switzerland and home to one-third of Australia’s bird species and some of the world’s oldest rock art, Kakadu is more than a national park, it’s a national treasure.
Bombing of Darwin Tour by Land and Sea
Combining a visit to Darwin City war sites, the Defence of Darwin Museum, the Charles Darwin bunkers and a one hour Bombing of Darwin Cruise, this half day experience by land and sea is the complete Darwin WW2 experience. Departing daily (Except Mondays) with hotel pickups from 0745 to 0800, returning by 12.30. The Bombing of Darwin cruise available separately at 1100 from Dock 2 at Stokes Hill Wharf.

Darwin Australia Info:
Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory of Australia, situated on the Timor Sea. It is the largest city in the sparsely populated Northern Territory, with a population of 148,564. It is the smallest, wettest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End's regional centre.
Darwin's proximity to South East Asia makes it a link between Australia and countries such as Indonesia and East Timor. The Stuart Highway begins in Darwin, extends southerly across central Australia through Tennant Creek and Alice Springs, concluding in Port Augusta, South Australia. The city is built upon a low bluff overlooking the harbour. Its suburbs begin at Lee Point in the north and stretch to Berrimah in the east. Past Berrimah, the Stuart Highway goes on to Darwin's satellite city Palmerston and its suburbs.
The Darwin region, like much of the Top End, experiences a tropical climate with a wet and dry season. A period known locally as the build up leading up to Darwin's wet season sees temperature and humidity increase. Darwin's wet season typically arrives in late November to early December and brings with it heavy monsoonal downpours, spectacular lightning displays, and increased cyclone activity. During the dry season, the city has clear skies and mild sea breezes from the harbour.
The greater Darwin area is the ancestral home of the Larrakia people. On 9 September 1839, HMS Beagle sailed into Darwin harbour during its survey of the area. John Clements Wickham named the region Port Darwin in honour of their former shipmate Charles Darwin, who had sailed with them on the ship's previous voyage which ended in October 1836. The settlement there became the town of Palmerston in 1869, but it was renamed Darwin in 1911. The city has been almost entirely rebuilt four times, following the devastation caused by the 1897 cyclone, the 1937 cyclone, Japanese air raids during World War II, and Cyclone Tracy in 1974

Fishing Darwin Harbour Wrecks

A mostly wet and overcast morning fishing in Darwin Harbour. I sounded around some Darwin Harbour Wrecks trying to fins some fish. Darwin Australia is where I live in the Northern Territory. So fishing Darwin Harbour is convenient for me as it's just down the road from my house.
I hope you enjoy my fishing videos.
About me and my NT Fishing Adventures
---
See that big bloke in front of the camera? Yea, that's me. G’day folks, I’m Mikey Cunningham. I’m not only the bloke in front of the camera, I do all the work behind the camera too. I make fishing videos.
I live in Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory. Also known as the Top End. A lot of my older videos are from the Gulf of Carpentaria, when I lived in a little fishing village called King Ash Bay Fishing Club. It's located on the banks of the McArthur River downstream from Borroloola in the Northern Territory. I still go back there a few times a year and make fishing videos of my fishing trips.
I enjoy filming and editing my fishing adventures. Sometimes it's not all about the fishing and catching fish. I try to make my fishing videos as entertaining as possible. Thank you to everyone who leaves me a comment and shares my stuff. You guys are awesome.
