If there’s one dish that defines Darwin, it’s laksa. Steaming bowls of spicy, coconut-based broth filled with noodles, seafood or chicken, and topped with fresh herbs have become a staple of the Top End lifestyle. Locals don’t just eat laksa for lunch or dinner — they eat it for breakfast, too. In fact, Darwin has proudly claimed the title of Australia’s Laksa Capital, and every October the city celebrates with the Darwin International Laksa Festival . This year, Travel Gateway is making it even easier to join the fun with the Ministry of Laksa Package — the ultimate way to taste, sip, and explore Darwin.

Most people have never heard of Bremer Island. Sitting 650km east of Darwin in East Arnhem Land, Bremer Island, is one of the most remote and untouched places in Australia. No roads in. A maximum of eight guests at a time. Just white sand beaches, turquoise water, and a coastline shared with four species of nesting sea turtles.

Most people drive straight through Tennant Creek without stopping. Halfway between Darwin and Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway, it's easy to treat it as a fuel stop and keep moving. That's a mistake — and locals will tell you so. The Barkly region, centred on Tennant Creek, is one of the Northern Territory's most genuinely surprising destinations. Ancient sacred landscapes, a gold rush history that shaped an entire town, world-class stargazing, and a living Aboriginal culture that goes back tens of thousands of years. Travel Gateway is here to make sure you don't miss it.
