Darwin, Capital city in Northern Territory, Australia
Darwin extends along the northwestern coast of Australia, occupying a peninsula surrounded by the Timor Sea waters and mangrove-lined shores.
The settlement, established in 1869, received massive damage during Japanese air raids in 1942, leading to evacuation of civilians from Northern Australia.
The Larrakia people maintain their traditional connections to the Darwin region through ceremonies, art exhibitions, and educational programs at local cultural centers.
The city operates a comprehensive public bus network connecting the central district with northern suburbs, including frequent services to Casuarina and Palmerston.
Darwin International Airport functions as both a civilian transport hub and Royal Australian Air Force Base, supporting military operations across northern Australia.
