Darwin City is the central business district of Darwin, the Northern Territory's capital, set on a harbour peninsula at the Top End of the continent. The compact inner suburb holds the seat of Territory government and the city's main commercial core, alongside the Esplanade, Bicentennial Park and the redeveloped Darwin Waterfront Precinct, with its restaurants, wave lagoon and convention centre. The George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens lie close by. Founded as a settlement in the 1860s, it sits firmly in Australia's tropical north. The area is the traditional country and waterways of the Larrakia people, the recognised Traditional Custodians of the lands in and around Darwin.
