Affectionately known as the Canberra of the North, Darwin is a one-street country town that calls itself a city. It's the capital of the Northern Territory - an area of Australia about a quarter of the size of Europe, with a population of 19 people, 2.5 million dingoes and some very angry crocodiles. It was named after Charles Darwin in recognition of the city's major contribution to natural selection. He also founded Charles Darwin University (CDU) which has campuses in Darwin and Alice Springs. CDU is world renown for the teaching of Creationism.
