City of Darwin, Capital city in Northern Territory, Australia

The northernmost capital of Australia extends along Darwin Harbour with residential areas from Lee Point to Berrimah, covering 111 square kilometers.

The HMS Beagle discovered Darwin Harbour in 1839, leading to the settlement initially named Palmerston before its official renaming to Darwin in 1911.

The Larrakia people maintain their traditional connection to Garramilla, the Aboriginal name for Darwin, through art galleries, museums, and cultural practices.

Darwin International Airport, located 7 kilometers from the center, connects travelers with domestic and international destinations through regular flight services.

The city follows seven distinct seasonal patterns throughout the year, each marked by specific changes in weather, plant growth, and wildlife behavior.
