Darwin Festival, Northern Territory - Image Tourism NT

Darwin, the Northern Territory’s vibrant capital, is a city with influences that are as much Asian as they are western. A city with dozens of nationalities sharing an easy-going lifestyle, Darwin is located on a peninsular with the sea on three sides. It is a place unvisited by winter where the weather can usually be described as either balmy or sultry. Darwin is well appointed, possessing most of the amenities expected of a much larger city. Watching sunsets and storms are something of a local pastime, and after a cleansing rain shower you can almost hear things growing.

Melville Island is Australia’s second largest island after Tasmania. There is little infrastructure on the island and it is yet to be opened to the public for tourism. Separated from Bathurst Island by only two kilometres, Melville Island has a similar history.It was first sighted by Abel Tasman in 1644 on his way from Batavia. In 1818 the son of New South Wales Governor Philip Gidley King, Phillip Parker King explored the island (he named it after Viscount Melville) and was surprised to discover the Aborigines knew some Portuguese words. He deduced they had made contact with Portuguese sailors after a Portuguese ship had been wrecked nearby. Ownership of Melville Island was returned to the Tiwi Aborigines in 1978 and like Bathurst Island, it is run by the Tiwi Land Council.
