Welcome to Darwin, welcome to Garramilla

We are located on the traditional lands of the Larrakia people. A welcoming history of friendliness and foreign relations began with the Larrakia people. To the Larrakia, Darwin is known as Garramilla. 

There's more to the story

Darwin is where Aboriginal culture meets one hundred other cultures. We are a truly multicultural city, with fifty five per cent of the community speaking two languages.  

From across Australia and around the world, we arrive with nothing but ideas, ambitions, and a stronger than average sense of adventure. We want to take a risk, to start again, to try something new. 

We invite you to come to Darwin and experience a place so welcoming you won’t ever want to leave.

We invite you to visit, study, invest, live and build in Darwin and to connect with our culture, people, and places.
