About Darwin/Northern Territory.
- Darwin is Australia’s northernmost capital city, as close to Singapore and Manila as it is to Sydney and Melbourne.
- Darwin’s tropical capital combines lazy beaches, water parks, historic sites and blood orange sunsets with buzzing markets and a pulsating nightlife.
- Eight national capitals, 36 trading ports, 69 international airports and nearly half a billion people are within four hours’ flight of Darwin.
- Darwin International Airport operates 24/7.
- The deep water Port of Darwin provides modern freight handling facilities, a dedicated bulk liquids berth and links with an intermodal road-rail network.
- The Territory is an iconic tourism destination - home to two world heritage listed National parks, Uluru Kata Tjuta and Kakadu National Park
- NT’s population of almost 250,000 includes local Indigenous Australians who have been custodians of the land for thousands of years, along with people from over 100 nationalities, making this one of Australia’s most cosmopolitan communities.
- NT partners with foreign investment to develop their significant mineral and energy resource precincts, much of which have yet to be explored.
