Darwin offers a relaxed multicultural lifestyle, warm weather, outdoor activities, national parks and access to Aboriginal and tropical Northern Territory culture. Living costs can be high, particularly for housing, but hospitality workers may find opportunities in hotels, restaurants, resorts and tourism businesses.
