Darwin

Darwin extends along the Timor Sea coast in Australia’s Northern Territory, and its tropical harbour setting has shaped a compact capital attuned to monsoons, maritime trade and links with Asia. Darwin Harbour is edged by mangroves and tidal flats, while the waterfront faces broad coastal waters rather than a river. The Larrakia people are the Traditional Owners of the Darwin region. Japanese aircraft bombed Darwin in 1942 during the Second World War, and the city was rebuilt again after Cyclone Tracy struck on Christmas Eve 1974. Open-air markets, Aboriginal art and Southeast Asian food reflect its diverse northern character. See Darwin within the wider Top End by browsing webcams nearby.
