VibraNT Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia

Feel the rhythm of life in Australia's far northern tropics. Moving to a different beat, Darwin slows to absorb the sunshine kisses and frangipani-scented breezes of its surrounds. And the enviable climate is just one of its many valuable assets.

Here, locals take time to savour a dramatic sunset disappearing into the Timor Sea or a leisurely stroll along its endless blue coastline. Eclectic markets showcase the city's melting pot of cultural influences and never fail to draw a huge crowd.

At the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets, which operate during the drier months of the year, you senses are assaulted by the aromas of tropical fruit as the dulcet tones of guitar and didgeridoo sooth.

With more art galleries than pubs, revel in the city's large collection of Aboriginal artwork, or take to the turquoise waters that surround for a casual sail or action-packed fishing charter.
