Top 5 Reasons to Live in Darwin

1. The Outback Meets the City

If your Monday to Friday is spent working in one of Darwin’s many business and commercial enterprises, then the weekends are definitely for exploring.

Visit the lush national parks, waterfalls and discover the outback which surrounds the CBD.

Litchfield National Park is a comfortable 90-minute drive from Darwin, while in under two hours you can be at the gateway to Kakadu National Park, a World Heritage Listed site.

Both parks are a must-see for anyone visiting or living in Darwin, wanting to experience the natural beauty of the area, and feel the deep connection to the land.

2. Land and Sea

In addition to the impressive inland regions, Darwin enjoys a peninsula location and popular city waterfront on Darwin Harbour, which links the land to the sea.

Here you will find plenty of great options for adventure on the water. Whether you’re a keen angler looking to fish the harbour or bluewater for that prize catch, or if leisurely cruising the estuaries and rivers is more your style, the water presents endless possibilities for all manner of fun activities.

Tip: it might be time to get that boat!
