Which is the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory?

Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory, Australia. With an estimated population of 147,255 as of 2019, the city contains the majority of the residents of the sparsely populated Northern Territory.

It is the smallest, wettest, and most northerly of the Australian capital cities and its proximity to Southeast Asia makes the city's location a key link between Australia and countries such as Indonesia and East Timor.

The Darwin region experiences a tropical climate with a wet and dry season. A period known locally as "the build up" leading up to Darwin's wet season sees temperature and humidity increase. Darwin's wet season typically arrives in late November to early December and brings with it heavy monsoonal downpours, spectacular lightning displays, and increased cyclone activity. During the dry season, the city has clear skies and mild sea breezes from the harbour.

The Larrakia people are the traditional owners of the Darwin area and Aboriginal people make up a significant percentage of the population.
