Lonely Planet: Working Holiday in Darwin, Australia

Picture a beach of white sand, dazzling blue waters and swaying palm trees in front of a blazing orange sunset. Then imagine this is your workplace.

When Patrizia Cadeleo left Italy to work and travel in Australia, she knew she wanted to work at a bar on a beach. In Darwin she found just that, complete with a laidback tropical lifestyle and the perfect climate to enjoy the beach year-round.

But it isn't all about work. Join Patrizia as she completes her shift, then explores the attractions of Darwin's nightlife on the busy strip that is Mitchell Street and see her as she confronts her fears viewing snakes and getting up close to the Northern Territory's most popular reptile, the saltwater crocodile.

Visit an authentic Australian pub at Humpty Doo and take a refreshing dip in the lush tropical surrounds of Berry Springs. All this and much more can be done within an hour's drive from Darwin, so get the most out of your working holiday and visit the Northern Territory.
