1. The regular Asian-style markets that form an instrinsic part of the everyday Darwin landscape for local residents see food, music, language, and culture from just about every Asian nation, alongside crocodile hunters, local Aboriginal artists, musicians of every genre, sports fishing operators, sunset sails, and families with children playing on the beach. Darwin's unique cosmopolitan makeup has been recognised as an "multicultural icon of national significance" by the Australian National Trust.

Die multikulturelle Mischung der Stadt wird besonders durch die vielen aufregenden ethnischen kulturellen Festivals und wöchentlichen Nahrungsmittel- und Kunsthandwerksmärkte hervorgehoben.
