Darwin Coat of Arms
Satellite view is showing Darwin, most populous city and capital of Australia's Northern Territory (NT). The northernmost of Australia's capital cities is located on the north coast of the continent at the Timor Sea in a region called "Top End". The city has a population of about 130,000 inhabitants.
In the sparsely populated Northern Territory the city of Darwin is the administrative, commercial, industrial, and cultural center of the state. The former pioneer outpost with a small port is today one of Australia's most modern and most multicultural cities.
Located in the city are the Parliament House, the seat of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, the Government House, which is the residence of the Administrator of the Northern Territory, and the Northern Territory Supreme Court.
Other attractions are the large Bicentennial Park at Darwin's waterfront, Darwin Convention Centre, and the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens.
The tropical city is an attraction for many tourists, therefore tourism is one of Darwin's largest industries. The city is the starting point for sightseeing tours of Australia's Top End to nearby Charles Darwin National Park and other Outback attractions like Kakadu and Litchfield National Park, Arnhem Land, the Tiwi Islands and Katherine region with Nitmiluk National Park.
Darwin was in Lonely Planet’s list of Best in Travel: Top 10 cities for 2012. The city is described as: "It was once easy to dismiss Darwin as a frontier town full of brawling fishermen, dreamy hippies and redneck truckers. But with a pumping nocturnal scene, magical markets and restaurants, and world-class wilderness areas just down the road, today Darwin is the triumph of Australia’s Top End. Beat the crowds to the redeveloping Waterfront Precinct with its wave pool, bars and wharf eateries; or score some brilliant Indigenous art before East Coast galleries snap it up and charge double. Nose your way through the food stalls at Mindil Beach Sunset Market, then watch the sun melt into the Timor Sea. When southern Australia is chilling through winter, here it’s blue skies, party nights and sleeping late."
The Map shows a city map of Darwin located at the tip of a peninsula with expressways, main roads and streets; and the location of Darwin Airport (IATA Code: DRW) in a suburb of Darwin in the north eastern part of the city, 13 kilometers (8 mi) from the city center.

read moreAs time went by, this blog was developed for many different purposes. Last time, I had a lot of pleasure in sharing some of my Lego-related hobbies. However, I will mostly upload a blog about bikes and their development in the next few months! Recently, I have so much into ebike cargo. They say this type of bike can replace the car! And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

Hi, hi, hi. So, it's been a while for the last couple of weeks since I have considered buying a cargo bike. The reason is that I am often trapped in a traffic jam because I can't get faster in my car.

Custom LEGO Transformers Devastator
My faith in humanity is restored! OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones. I feel transported to the 80’s once again, with the same intense childhood wonder when I first saw the Constructicons combine and become the formidable Devastator.
