Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory, is situated on the Timor Sea and is so far north it is actually nearer to Port Moresby (the capital of Papua New Guinea) than it is to its own capital Canberra. For a place so far away, it’s also a well-established city centre with a thriving culture and plenty of friendly locals.
Darwin sits in what’s known as the 'Top End', an expanse of land jutting out into the sea. Even by Australian standards the area is seen as remote and isolated, and really epitomises the heart and soul of the Outback. There's no better way to take it all in than with a 4WD Hire Darwin.
The Wild Heart of Australia
Some say Crocodile Dundee was the quintessentially Australian film - a great deal of it was shot in the Northern Territory. You won't find too many with corks hanging from their hats nowadays, but wherever you go, you’ll find tropical wetlands, spectacular waterfalls and a vivid living sense of natural history.
With a Darwin 4WD hire, a trip to the Kakadu National Park is a must. It's the second biggest National Park in the world, home to countless birds, mammals and reptiles including the salt-water crocodile. And if you've seen the film, don't be surprised if Ubirr Rock and Gunlom Falls look strangely familiar.
A 4 wheel drive vehicle guarantees you comfort, safety and reliability in the harshest of conditions and may actually bring out the buried adventurer in you. If this ends up being the case, you should try heading for the Red Centre and the town of Alice Springs. It's a good distance, but with decent roads you'll do it in a day. Bring plenty of water as temperatures can get up to 40 degrees centigrade, if you're thinking about making a tour or it a cheap 4x4 motorhome hire might be great option as accommodation can be scarce in the outback.
If you prefer taking it easy, there's still plenty to be getting on with up north. Visit Arnhem Land, around 500km from Darwin, and you’ll pay witness to Australia’s important aboriginal reserve. It's well known for the continuing culture of the native peoples, no better symbolised than by Aboriginal rock-art, bark paintings and sand sculptures which are used in sacred rituals still adhered to today.
To make the most of the extraordinary opportunity the Northern Territory offers, a Darwin 4X4 hire provides a peerless form of transport. Explore tribal land, drift into Australia’s mystical past, and become part of the history of this unique place.
