Darwin

Population : (2006) 105,991

Darwin is the capital city of the Australian Territory of the Northern Territory. A population of 105,991 makes it by far the most populated city in the sparsely populated Northern Territory but the least populous of all Australia's capital cities.

The population for Darwin is currently 98,000 and with satellite Palmerston is another 22,000 so in all around 120,000. Many of these pics are outdated, and the city has a growing list of new buildings and hotels.Since the completion of the north/south railway from Adelaide and new rail service for passenger and freight, the city is known as 'Gateway to Asia' and 'The Ghan' train puts an extra 40,000 tourists a year into Darwin.

YES - A VERY small skyline, but it has a lot of potential, there are no buildings of historical importance so skyscrapers are very welcome.
At the moment though, I do not think it should really get it's own thread in here, but I'll give it a 4.

A 4 for darwin. It's a small town with not many mid-sized buildings. But I'm sure its a nice place to visit.

6 for now. But 7 when evolution finishes. Decent skyline for what the city is.

i dont mean to be rude but thats ridiculous.

Darwin is not a 6. And it wont be even iwth evolution. it will be like 4.

People on these forums are far to nice about it.

It leaves cities with far greater differences in skyline quality being so close together.

Many people rate Brisbane as about an 8. Your '7' would put it just below Brisbane (and countless other bigger cities)

lol.

They have a 99m tower approved now (or is it uc?) This city is going places and will be one of the best in Australia due to its close proximity to asia

Darwin will become a major hub in the next decades with lots of skyscrapers and huge infrastructure projects. Just be patient.

It's nice enough, but the waterfront there is beutiful, especailly around Nightcliff (I know that means nothing to most ppl). If I where richer, I'd buy a house on the water there.

When Darwin starts getting more and more taller residential buildings and makes the skyline look taller and denser... I'll be more impressed, but good on them for making good changes in the last few years!!!
