Why you’ll love Darwin:

· What even is winter? Escape the cold where it’s warm all year round!

· Beautiful scenery- think red dirt, rustic coast-lines, waterfalls and national parks.

· Epic camping and fishing- you might be lucky enough to catch a million-dollar barra! Camping spots just a few hours drive away, easy enough to get to for the weekend.

· A city but really feels like a big country town. If you’re after a slower lifestyle, a close commute anywhere you want to go but still want the city luxuries of good cafes, food joints, shopping etc. then Darwin is the right move for you!

· Great central location with direct flights from Darwin to Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Broome, Cairns, Bali, Singapore and more.

· If you’ve got a young family there are great activites for kids all year round, lovely schools/ daycares and just a slower lifestyle giving you a far better work/ life balance.
