Darwin is the capital of Australia’s Northern Territory and has a population of around 150.000. The city was founded in 1869 and named after the naturalist Charles Darwin.

This growing attention is also reflected in projects by PROPER CREATIVE or competitions such as the AUSTRALIAN STREET ART AWARDS, where works from Darwin are regularly nominated.
