Affectionately known as the Canberra of the North, Darwin is a one-street country town that calls itself a city. It's the capital of the Northern Territory - an area of Australia about a quarter of the size of Europe, with a population of 19 people, 2.5 million dingoes and some very angry crocodiles. It was named after Charles Darwin in recognition of the city's major contribution to natural selection. He also founded Charles Darwin University (CDU) which has campuses in Darwin and Alice Springs. CDU is world renown for the teaching of Creationism.

If you're caught driving with a blood alcohol level of under 0.08, you'll get an on the spot fine equivalent to the cost of a carton of tinnies - which you will receive as a receipt. Tourists come here specially to get in touch with nature and swim with the crocodiles. This is a more exciting version of swimming with dolphins - which is practised by silly hippies in Boring Bay. It's recommended you get blind drunk first, as it doesn't hurt so much. If they survive swimming, tourists go to the backpacker Mecca, Mitchell Street, to celebrate. If they're British, they celebrate by bashing random people to a bloody pulp. If they're not British, they celebrate by getting hospitalised by a pommy backpacker. Every year, Darwin is wiped out by a cyclone - which makes life more exciting and gives the locals a good excuse to stock up on grog (alcohol) so they won't run out, even if they're killed by a flying sheet of corrugated iron. Darwinians who survive the excitement of life in the wild north can take comfort from the fact that they're as far away from Canberra as they can get, without actually leaving the continent (in fact, Singapore's closer). Graeme Sewer was elected Lord Mayor of the City of Darwin in April 2008, after being declared last man standing in a drinking competition, and hitting everyone in reach with his golfclubs.
