Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin has a population of 127,500, making it by far the largest and most populated city in the sparsely populated Northern Territory, but the least populous of all Australia's capital cities. It is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities.
Darwin has grown from a pioneer outpost and small port into one of Australia's most modern and multicultural cities. It is near Indonesia and the important markets in Asia, so a lot of trade goes through Darwin.
The city itself is built on a low bluff overlooking the harbour. Its suburbs spread out over some area, beginning at Lee Point in the north and stretching to Berrimah in the east-past Berrimah, the Stuart Highway goes on to Darwin's satellite city, Palmerston, and its suburbs.
Darwin has a tropical climate.
Having been almost entirely rebuilt twice, once due to Japanese air raids during World War II, and again after being devastated by Cyclone Tracy in 1974, the city is one of Australia's most modern capitals.
