Back in the city, cool off at Darwin’s newly developed Waterfront Precinct (waterfront.nt. gov.au). Here, you can relax in the wave pool or saltwater lagoon, where locals swim without fear of becoming a meal for one of the harbour’s resident crocodiles. But if you want to get up close with the fearsome reptiles, visit Crocodylus Park (crocodyluspark.com.au, adults $40, kids $20), which houses more than a thousand of them. Meanwhile, at Crocosaurus Cove, you can go one step further and literally get face-to-face with the man-eaters via their Cage Of Death experience (crocosauruscove.com, $165).
