Darwin
- the Capital City of Northern Territory
|
|
Darwin:
This is the most popular town and also the territorial
capital of the Northern Territory. It is a city of about
110000 inhabitants with a large proportion of Aboriginal
people, which justify the fact that the town is sometimes
called 'the multicultural capital of Australia'.
Now Darwin is closer
to Jakarta than to Sydney, and also closer to Singapore
than to Melbourne. Darwin is located right at a harbour/bay
often called Port Darwin. The city stretches all the
way to the Beagle Gulf, which is part of the Timor Sea.
Right across Port Darwin, a 15-minute ferry ride will
bring you to Mandorah.

| It is not
really a suprise then that Darwinians looks to Asia for
travel, influences in dress and food as much as it looks
south to the rest of Australia. Darwin's proximity and
relationship such as it's sister city program with the
northern territory's northern neighbours is reflected
in Darwins cosmopolitan and relaxed tropical atmosphere
and culture. |

The population
varies as the Dry season arrives so does an influx of
workers for the harvest, mining and tourist season.

I have lived here (on
and off) since 1988 and it has to be one of a few cities
that I have known that every one of every religon and
race seems to live in harmony. We are known as Darwinian's
and generally are hard working on the one side but laid
back and relaxed after hours on the other. When I first
arrived here in 1988 it was a case of anything I wanted
or ordered was "yah mate - it will be here tomorrow
( 2 weeks later). Now Darwin has changed and with service
at the level of major southern cities service levels
and products are found to be of a premium.
There is
one major problem when you visit Darwin. That is you
will want to stay; it has happened to everyone we know.
It's a great city and even better life style. Imagine
many things that other capital cities have as infrastructure
well we have too and it's all around 15 mins drive from
one to the other.
