Recently we had a short stopover in Darwin for two nights and 3 days.
We flew into Darwin on Jets tar Airlines from Philippines via Singapore,
It was December and the wet season and so the city was relatively quiet.
Darwin feels like a large provincial town that has been transplanted in the outback. We hired a car and went for a drive around town and then for about 100 km south down the main highway out of town. as soon as you are about 10 km out of town you realise that you are in the real outback where driving has unexpected challenges like road trains. ( A giant truck with 3 or 4 trailers).
The highlights of this trip were the blue lake at springs which had awesome bird life and scary signs warning of crocodiles. Also the
.......... national park has some really awesome waterfalls. http://youtu.be/nDTIFj8ImaU

A brief stopover in Darwin is enough to realise that the Northern Territory is a place well worth exploring in a more leisurely way in the future.
