The city has had it's share of hard times. More bombs were dropped in it's harbour than on Pearl Harbour in WW11 and it was nearly destroyed by cyclone Tracy in 1974.

Now however it is a prosperous, growing economy with access to vast mineral wealth, a booming tourist industry and an important military base for northern Australia.

With new port facilities, an improved airport, all weather roads and the opening of the north-south railway linking Darwin to the rest of Australia, continued growth is assured.

The many government projects, private developments and community based inititives in the city and surrounding areas speak volumes about the future and the "let's do it" character of the people here.
