Darwin

Darwin is the capital city of the northern territory, located at the northern tip of the northeast entrance of the Timor Sea Darwin Port, known as Australia's northern gateway, because Charles Robert Darwin, a famous British naturalist and author of evolution, visited it in 1839.

Darwin was originally the home of indigenous people, and developed rapidly after the discovery of gold mines in the 1870s. In 1974, it was severely damaged by hurricanes and rebuilt into a beautiful and highly developed city with modern streets and buildings.
