Wear a hat

Darwin is a tropical city with strong sunlight and hot to very hot climate. Take care to wear a hat and light clothing which will cover arms and shoulders.

Sunscreen

Due to the tropical climate it is recommended that every one, especially small children, have factor 15 + sunscreen applied before venturing out into the sun.

Dehydration ( Water )

When visiting the Northern Territory you should be aware of our climate and its effect on your body. Water is the most effective cooling agent for the body and in the Northern Territory`s climate it is important to consume adequate amounts of water to prevent dehydration. Most people should drink at least eight glasses of water a day to maintain an adequate level of hydration. If active ( eg. walking, climbing etc. ) you will need to consume additional water at regular intervals. You should carry at least two litres of water for every hour the activity will last.

Insect Repellent

Although Darwin is reknowned for having fewer flies than many other parts of the country, insect repellent may be required for evenings.

Swimming

Do not enter the sea between October and May due to the presence of box jellyfish. Take precautions at other times.

Wildlife

There is much wildlife to be enjoyed but take heed of warning signs and be aware of wallabies and possums on the road.

Boating

All boating regulations should be strictly adhered to when on the water. Check with local authorities if you are unsure and always wear a life jactet.

Clothing

Life in the “ Top End ” calls for tropical ease in clothing styles. Most establishments welcome casual clothing, but will often specify ' No T-Shirts and No Thongs '. More strict regulations apply at night, for example you may see reference to ' Darwin Rig ' or ' Territory Rig. ' This means for women casual but elegant, and for men long trousers and collared shirt.
