Darwin is the northernmost capital city in Australia, and its strategic location
has made it a melting pot of various people, each with a different cultural background
and adding a unique flavor to the cosmopolitan culture of the place. The multifarious
population of Darwin has lent it an unmatched blend of culture, heritage, fine
food, and lively arts and entertainment, which truly represent a mosaic of the
various ethnic groups that form an innate part of the city. While sightseeing
in Darwin, one precisely feels like seeing tableaux of the cultural mélange
that characterizes the vibrant city of Darwin.
Darwin is the city where the sun shines fiercely during the Dry (roughly from
April to September) and the roads outside the city, to the Outback regions of
the Northern Territory, often become impassable in the Wet.
The city has been christened after the English evolutionist and naturalist Charles
Darwin who has never been there although he has been to Australia.
"Nothing but rather sharp necessity should compel me to emigrate," he
wrote of Australia.
