Darwin

The average temperature during the really hot period is 31.9 °C or 89 °F whilst the cooler months it averages 23.2 °C or 74 °F. Most of the tourism to Darwin occurs in the cooler months as it is just to hot during the summer. But when you go on holiday its better if you are in a tropical climate and Darwin certainly has that to offer.

The Charles Darwin National Park:

This Park protects areas of natural and cultural significance. It protects part of the Port Darwin wetland, one of Australia's most significant wetlands. It protects locally significant woodlands too. 

Port Darwin is recognised as a nationally significant wetland because it is large, (48 sq. km) and diverse. Thirty-six of the N.T.'s 51 mangrove species occur in its convoluted system of inlets, islands and bays. 

The Park lies on Frances Bay in Port Darwin, and includes the western bank of Sadgroves Creek, Reichardt Creek and part of Blessers Creek. Housing and industrial estates are its neighbours. 

Although this Park is new, the land has history. Shell middens in the area show that Aboriginal people have used the land for thousands of years. Today, the Larrakia people speak for this land.

The Great Ghan Rail Journeys:

Since World War 2 Darwin has been without rail adventures, their train tracks fading to ruin from disuse. Now the journey continues, with a 47 hour, 2979 km transcontinental trip from Darwin to Adelaide and vice-versa on new tracks laid in 2003. 

This amazing journey will take guests from the wonderful towns and historic buildings of South Australia to the arid Desert Region of Central Australia and on to the Tropical Top End town of Darwin. Such a contrast of scenery, bound to keep travellers amazed and fascinated by the passing views. What better way to see the real outback of Australia?

Kakadu National Park:

Kakadu National Park is a world-class visitor destination, and has been identified as a key element of one of Australia's National Landscapes - those iconic areas that capture and promote the best of Australia.

The name 'Kakadu' comes from an Aboriginal floodplain language called Gagudju which was one of the languages spoken in the north of the park at the beginning of the twentieth century. Although languages such as Gagudju and Limilngan are no longer regularly spoken, descendants of these language groups are still living in Kakadu. Aboriginal languages used in the Park today include Kunwinjku from the north-eastern region, Gun-djeihmi from the central region and Jawoyn from the southern region.

Kakadu National Park is managed jointly by its Aboriginal traditional owners and the Director of National Parks. The traditional owners are proud to share their country with visitors.
