Darwin Travel Information
Darwin is the capital and largest city in Australia's Northern Territory. The HMS Beagle sailed into the harbor during its survey in 1839; the city is named for Charles Darwin who travelled on a previous voyage on that ship. While aboriginal peoples have a long history in the region and Europeans visited as early as the 1600s, today's Darwin is a modern city, having been rebuilt after destruction caused by war (raids during WWII) and natural causes (a cyclone). The city is an important port as well as a major mining and energy centre.
