Which is the closest Australian capital to the UK? By a good few hundred miles over Perth, it is Darwin – the biggest city in the Northern Territory. Here, Bali is much nearer than Bondi Beach in Sydney, and as a gateway to tropical adventure, the young metropolis is full of colour and life.
Darwin is closer – both geographically and climatically – to South East Asia than to other Australian capitals. The heat embraces you the moment you arrive – and the welcome from the citizens who make this modest but appealing metropolis their home is equally warm.
