Darwin is Australia's youngest city. Over one half of Darwin's permanent residents are under 30. Situated on a beautiful natural harbor, Darwin is a modern cosmopolitan city, just one hour's flight from Indonesia. There are two very distinct seasons in Darwin and the "Top End" of the Northern Territory: the "Dry" from May to October (warm sunny days and cool nights) and the "Wet" from November to April (Monsoonal currents bring both rain and humidity). About three hours drive away is Kakadu National Park and Katherine Gorge, with its 13 spectacular gorges separated by rapids.
