In addition to its historical sites, the tropical north is also home to a range of quirky displays and attractions that offer a light-hearted contrast to the more serious aspects of its past. For instance, one can find the famous Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, where visitors can get up close in the water with some of the largest saltwater crocodiles in the world.
