8 days in Australia Itinerary

The smallest of Australia’s state capitals, Darwin has nevertheless become an attractive and important urban center, being simultaneously one of the country’s most modernized cities and a gateway to both the Top End region and South East Asia.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Leanyer Recreation Park and Parliament House. Step out of Darwin to go to Berry Springs and see Territory Wildlife Park, which is approximately 42 minutes away. Spend the 16th (Fri) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. There's still lots to do: explore the striking landscape at Berry Springs Nature Park, get engrossed in the history at RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility, cool off at Wave Lagoon, and cast your line with a fishing tour.
