Tall towers and crowds queuing.
Cruise ship passengers viewing
the steady ocean and the city;
the joyful parks that are so pretty.

Darwin is home to everybody.
Its markets and festivals embody
heaps of cultures, heaps of faces;
handmade crafts from faraway places.

The waterfront is amazingly cool.
It has a super, fun wave pool
and a bouncy, bright, inflatable park;
loud, sparkly fireworks after dark!
