Australia’s northern gateway, formerly a rough frontier town, now stands on its own merits - a model tropical city, totally rebuilt since the disastrous Cyclone Tracy of 1974. Since East Timor gained its independence, everyone from UN peacekeepers to local entrepreneurs wants a piece of the action, making Darwin a boomtown gateway. A huge injection of funds from Brunei will see the Darwin waterfront totally transformed over the next five years, with beaches, marinas and a giant recreation complex gracing the shoreline.
