Best Car Rental Darwin

Darwin is the capital city in the Northern Territory, at the northern tip of Australia on the Timor Sea. The city is densely populated for the territory itself, which is not highly populated overall, but is a modest size by big city standards.

The city is build on a low bluff, which overlooks the harbor below, flanked by a bay on either side. Outside of the central downtown area, the rest of the city is fairly flat. The coastal locations nearby have excellent beaches, plenty of fishing areas and reserves, all of which are of interested to lovers of angling and marine life.

The harbor is expansive, actually larger than the Sydney harbor, and also provides an important shipping port for sea freight travelling close-by from Indonesia and East Timor. The cityscape is very modern due to having been rebuilt following Cyclone Tracy in 1974 which wrecked devastation across the city at the time.

The attractions in Darwin are many and varied. Here are just a few to consider:

Aquascene at Doctor's Gully, is where hundreds of fish come to be hand fed at high tide. A sight to see!

Casuarina Coastal Reserve, a coastal reserve in the northern suburbs, is a perfect place for that romantic walk along the beach at sunset or a picnic in the shade whilst enjoying the cooling sea breeze.

Darwin Wharf Precinct is a centre of attractions, ranging from exotic restaurants to live entertainment. Harbor cruises can also be arranged from the precinct. The Precinct is currently part of a billion dollar makeover.

Indo Pacific Marine provides an unusual look into Eco-tourism with its marine centre. Bookings can be made to experience their ?Coral Reef by Night? program, held on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. This is the only marine experience open to the public in Darwin.
