Darwin's tropical climate, proximity to Asia and large immigrant population give it a feel that is more similar to Asian cities than to those of southern Australian like Sydney or Melbourne. A vibrant mix of cultures, Darwin is a cosmopolitan city with a great restaurants, a hopping night scene and a relaxed tropical vibe. Its had a turbulent history, bombarded during WW2 and then nearly wiped out by the biggest cyclone to have ever hit Australian soil in 1974, yet the city has sprung back to life and now boasts a pumping tourism industry and a party-town reputation. Put on your party flip-flops and spend a couple of days exploring the city and its history before heading off to some of the more remote attractions of Australia's Top End.
