Now is the time for locals to travel to the Northern Territory (NT) and unlock a whole new world of experiences.
It was recently announced that Darwin will join the growing list of new connections from Sunshine Coast Airport, with direct services between the two tourism destinations taking flight from 29 November.
This will be the first time direct services between Darwin and the Sunshine Coast have flown, a significant milestone for Australia’s fastest-growing airport. The announcement was made at The Crocodile Hunter Lodge by Australia Zoo, celebrating the new link between the two croc capitals of Australia and the incredible wildlife that connects us.
With direct flights on the new Bonza service set to start from as low as $149 one-way, could the NT be calling you?
Whether you’re keen to bust out the fishing rod on a charter, explore rugged natural landscapes or delve deep into exciting cultural experiences – there’s no time like the present to experience everything Darwin and the NT have to offer.
You could start at the world heritage listed Kakadu National Park, renowned for its cultural and natural values. Feel yourself come alive amongst the lush rainforests, rocky gorges, serene swimming pools and the oldest Aboriginal rock art in the world. Covering nearly 20,000 square kilometres, Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and just waiting for you to explore it.
Maybe Darwin is more your speed. Take some time to explore the local cuisine, the vibrant Parap Markets or explore some of the city’s incredible history. You could take part in the famous Million Dollar Fish competition and catch yourself a red tagged barramundi hooking yourself a fortune.
Finally, you could take a trip to Crocosaurus Cove and come face to face with some of the world’s biggest crocodiles! You could even take a swim with one by stepping into the famous ‘Cage of Death’ – there is something for everyone.
With record passenger numbers and destination growth, there are now more people travelling from Sunshine Coast Airport than ever before.
