Things about Darwin
Darwin is one of Australia's most modern and multicultural cities and
its proximity to Asia makes it an important gateway to countries such
as Indonesia and East Timor. Do your research when travelling here as
there are very distinct wet and dry seasons and this could influence
your choice of rental vehicle and booking time. You don't want to make a
mistake and hire a car inappropriate to the climate.
On Christmas Eve in 1974 Cyclone Tracy destroyed many homes and
businesses. So, after being almost entirely rebuilt (twice) Darwin is
now one of Australia's most modern, but not often visited, capitals. The
19 February 2010 marks the Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin and is a
day to remember the people who helped defend this city during the World
War II. Each year veterans and locals come to commemorate the fallen
with the sounding of the WWII air raid siren at 9.58am at the Cenotaphin
Bicentennial Park. 9.58am was the exact time that the siren sounded on
February 19 in 1942 shortly before 243 armed forces and civilians were
killed in the bombings.
A trip to Darwin is guaranteed to be a uniquely Australian experience
for any traveller.The city is unique compared from other Australian
Capitals and its due to many factors landscape has changed many times. One way to appreciate the history of Darwin while
you're touring in your rental car is to book a Bombing of Darwin tour.
In the early 1940s at the outset of World War II around ten thousand
Allied troops arrived in Darwin. Their mission was to defend Australia's
northern coastline. But on February 19 in 1942 Japanese warplanes
attacked Darwin in two waves. There were 188 of them and it was the same
fleet that bombed Pearl Harbour - although a lot more bombs were
dropped on Darwin. The historic incident was shown in the epic film "Australia" by Baz Luhrmann.
These days Darwin is by far the largest and most populated city in the
sparsely populated Northern territory. Yet it's still the least populous
of all Australia's capital cities. But don't let that fool you.
Although the smallest and most northerly of Australian cities it acts as
the Top End's regional centre and is an absolutely fantastic
destination if you want to see the real outback. The best way to explore
the region is in a sturdy, outback proof rental vehicle.
