Darwin Car Hire
Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, is Australia’s northernmost city and is often regarded as the favourable place to begin a journey into wild areas of Australia to see all kinds of Australian wildlife – and of course a rental is the best way to see it all. With a rental you’ll be able to travel on your own watch and not be subject to someone else’s schedule when taking set tours! Darwin airport is near 15 kilometers from the CBD so if no where else on your trip, you’ll want your own rental car for transport in Darwin.
If your find yourself in Darwin on your next holiday, be sure to check out the Australian wildlife on display at nature parks such as Casuarina Coastal Reserve or the Charles Darwin National Park. With reptiles and marsupials you won’t find in the wild anywhere else in the world on the loose you’ll be sure to have an unforgettable adventure. Some other parks you may want to take your rental out to are Litchfield National Park (great nature walks, waterfalls and incredible views) and Berry Springs Nature Park which is a great place to setup a picnic or go for a swim. Jumping in your rental and driving a little closer to the Darwin CBD will allow you to check out a number of interesting heritage buildings and even tour a decommissioned jail!
Visit Darwin in August to be treated to the annual Darwin Festival. The Darwin festival is held over a massive 18 nights of fun and excitement for the local community and all visiting the humble city. The Darwin festival features everything you could imagine including concerts, theatre, dancing, comedy, cabaret, film, visual arts exhibitions and much more. During this time Darwin is buzzing with visitors and activity like no other time of the year.
If planning on camping in Darwin be absolutely sure your camping site has been deemed safe from snakes and crocodiles; additionally check that any bodies of water are not infested with Jellyfish or other deadly creatures before approaching the water or swimming in it. Darwin’s tropical climate also means that mosquitoes are in high numbers all year around so keep insect repellent handy at all times!
