Regardless of whether it is the wet season (November to April) or the dry season (May to October), the weather is always pleasant and balmy. Darwin is a destination in itself, with its bustling waterfront and cultural festivals throughout the year.
You can trace the region’s history at its local museums, or enjoy a sail on the harbour. Popular with many, and quite iconic to the area, are the ‘crocodile cruises’ along the river, where crocodiles jump and leap for a tasty morsel. It is quite spectacular to watch these ancient creatures display their natural talent for leaping and jumping, whilst snaffling up a tasty treat. During my cruise, I wore a bright pink rain coat. During the ride, one of the guides told me that crocodiles are very attracted to this colour….I was pretty certain I had seen a few eyeing me off!
There are a multitude of options to keep you occupied and best of all the food and accommodation are well priced and varied.
Looks like a lovely part of the country. I would love to go and do some hiking and see all the waterfalls. You’re pictures are great. Thanks for sharing on #TheWeeklyPostcard.
Out of the places in Australia I’ve yet to see, I do feel like Darwin and Kakadu are near the top of my list. It just often felt too far away from Melbourne and I’m always enticed by overseas instead. Never thought to go in the wet season, but it does look nice, particularly at Litchfield with those waterfalls. Definitely got me thinking about it now. #TheWeeklyPostcard
Beautiful place. I’d love to visit during the dry season, although the waterfalls look so much better during the rainy season. #TheWeeklhyPostcard
I never knew that there were a place like this exist! At first I thought darwin was a name! But upon reading it was a place! I’m not familiar on the place but as people says “Unfamiliar things are the most wonderful” Thank you for sharing this I can add this to my knowledge the fact that I’m taking tourism course! 🙂 Thankyouu
Sounds wonderful! The historical cave drawings sound so interesting to see. How cool (and a little scary) to see a crocodile jumping up so high for a treat.
Everyone says that anything in Australia can kill you. But the beauty lies within. Thank you for sharing this experience!
These are amazing photos!! I would love to visit Australia and see the country side there.
How fun that there is so much to do there. I like that the food is reasonably priced too. It does make a difference!
It all seems like fun! In general I just wish someday to go to Australia!
Interesting place to go to. If I am near I would keep this on my weekend list and explore the nature at its best.
It would really be amazing to see Darwin some day. I have see all of these things on tv but never in person. Australia is a place I have always wanted to visit. Thanks for sharing the tips.
Very interesting! Hopefully sometime soon I can take a break and go to Australia! Thank you for sharing your post.
