Darwin Online
Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory (NT), Australia. Situated on the Timor Sea, Darwin has a population of 120,900, making it by far the largest and most populated city in the sparsely peopled Northern Territory, but the least populous of all Australia's capital cities. It is the smallest and most northerly of the Australian capital cities, and acts as the Top End's regional centre. The Aboriginal people of the Larrakia language group are the first inhabitants of the greater Darwin area.
Having been almost entirely rebuilt twice, once due to Japanese air raids during WW2 and again after being devastated by Cyclone Tracy in 1974, the city is one of Australia's most modern capitals.

Darwin is located in one of the most lightning prone areas in the world. In 2002 a single thunderstorm produced 1,634 lightning strikes in Darwin in just a few hours, which is the same amount that Perth, Western Australia experiences in an entire year.
Along with its importance as a gateway to Asia, Darwin also acts as an access point for the Kakadu National Park, Arnhem Land, and northerly islands such as Groote Eylandt and the Tiwi Islands. The city is the largest in the area, and provides services for these remote settlements.
