South Australia & Northern Territory - Darwin & the Top End (PDF Chapter)

This is the Darwin & the Top End chapter from Lonely Planet’s South Australia & Northern Territory guidebook.

The Top End is frontier country. It feels wild out here; time spent exploring the region’s outer reaches will feel like exploring the Australia of childhood imaginings. Darwin itself is an intriguing place with a steamy, end-of-Australia feel, excellent markets, restaurants and galleries of Indigenous art.
