Darwin is the territorial capital and the most populous city of Australia's Northern Territory. It has a population of 109,478 (est. June 2004) and is located on Australia's far northern coastline. Darwin has a tropical climate, and is subjected to tropical thunderstorms and cyclones. There have been three major cyclones about thirty years apart. Much of the city was destroyed by Cyclone Tracy in 1974. It is also the only Australian capital city to have come under substantial attack during any war: on February 19, 1942, Japanese planes made two major air raids on Darwin from the aircraft carrier fleet that had attacked Pearl Harbor less than 3 months earlier. These were the first of 64 air attacks experienced by the city during World War II, the last being on November 12, 1943.
Darwin has the largest proportional population of Indigenous Australians of any Australian capital city, and a significant percentage of its residents are recent immigrants from South East Asia. As such, Darwin is often called the "multicultural capital of Australia" due to its additional mix of racial and cultural groups, including Timorese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Papuans, Northern Europeans, Greeks and Italians, as well as residents of English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish descent. Darwin is an important port, particularly for the live export of cattle, minerals and gas. It is also the site of a large Australian Army base and a naval facility supporting patrol boat activity off Australia's northern coastline.

When you look at a map of Australia, Darwin is on the left hand side of the square bit at the top of the map.
