Darwin Australia is a breath of fresh air, bursting to the seams with trendy cuisines, events, attractions and even trendier people. The Northern Territory’s popular capital city, Darwin Australia is a mash up of different cultures, all coming together to form a vibrant city. The Darwin Airport is the state’s busiest airport. If you’re starting your journey from Darwin Airport, book your vehicle prior to departure and pick it up from Hertz Car Rental on-site.
There are just some things you can do only in Darwin Australia for example, swimming with a crocodile! Visit the Crocosaurus Cove, a centre housing many different types of crocodiles. Here you can go swimming with a crocodile in the Cage of Death, a cage that is lowered into a crocodile tank. You can even catch a glimpse of the famous Burt, the crocodile that starred in the movie Crocodile Dundee! Darwin Australia is a fantastic spot for fishing, and has attracted aspiring anglers for years. Board a bluewater charter or pick up your professional guides for a fishing trip of a lifetime. Try to catch some of the golden snappers that are available year round, or the in-season Spanish mackerel.
Take some time to kick back and relax at an outdoor cinema. But this isn’t a drive through, so do leave your car rental at the door! This Deckchair Cinema is a massive open-air cinema that broadcasts old classic movies on a huge screen while viewers recline on deck chairs. With a film showing every night from April to November, don’t miss your chance to catch your favourite flick here! Or, go for a dip at the Darwin Recreation Lagoon at the city’s popular waterfront precinct. The Lagoon is a free, safe beach that has been roped off from the open waters, thus keeping sea creatures from getting in.
Darwin Australia’s rich arts scene has invited a bustling shopping culture to thrive. Visit the popular Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, an open-air market touting delicious cuisine and crafts. This market features over sixty stalls set under the beautiful sunset, selling cuisine from South East Asia, Turkey, Greece, South America and more. Browse through for the excellent handcrafted works on sale or get your fortune read at a tarot reader’s booth. Afterwards, tour Darwin Australia’s largest shopping centre, Casuarina Shopping Centre. With over 200 retail outlets featuring multiple brand name outlets, tour the large air-conditioned complex, which is a popular option on especially hot days.
Hop into your car rental and try self-driving on the Darwin Australia roads. The scenery around the city can be breathtaking. Drive from Darwin Australia to the Kakadu National Park, and view the beautiful Aboriginal drawings on the rocks and the many species of animals that call the park home. Drive down to Nitmiluk National Park, where you can do some river cruising or embark on a world-class walking trail. When picking up your car rental from Darwin Airport, do check in with the staff to ensure that you collect a suitable vehicle as certain routes require a four-wheel drive vehicle. No matter, one thing’s for sure - this is the trip of a lifetime!
