| Date | Itinerary | Arrive | Depart |
| Monday 08 February, 2027 | Fly Sydney to Darwin Upon arrival transfer to your hotel for a one night stay with breakfast Along the Northern Territory coast lies Darwin, a city isolated by the vast Australian desert. The area was sought by the French, Dutch and British, and was established as the town of Darwin in 1869. In 1942, the city was under the threat of a Japanese attack, so a major Australian military base was established. Today Darwin is the largest city in the Northern Territory, offering sights from its colonial past and excellent shopping and dining opportunities. |
