Blue Skies, Warm weather, A Carnival for Everyone

The Darwin Cup Winter Carnival now ranks as the Northern Territory's No.1. tourist attraction. It has emerged as a magnet to visitors from almost everywhere in Australia. The Carnival is a unique, colourful and exciting racing experience to be enjoyed by all, not only turf enthusiasts. The weather is perfect - average daily about 300C and the variety of tropical attractions, plus a feast of social activities, make the week an unforgettable adventure. 

The Phar Lap Travel's annual Darwin Cup tour has been part of the carnival for more than 20 years. Young and old from all corners and walks of life have tasted and praised the experience. There are those who come just for the racing but others simply soak up the winter sun and enjoy all the other offerings of relaxation friendship. 

Phar Lap Travel's Darwin Cup Tour offers a superb range of accommodation together with transfers, entrance tickets and several functions. 

 

Pre & Post Darwin Cup Tour options are available. You can stay in Darwin longer, stop in Cairns, take a Kakadu & Kimberley Highlights Tour, plus much more. 

Options are available to travel on the GHAN.

After Darwin, why not take a KIMBERLEY TOUR  to BROOME
