The Tiwi Islands, known locally as ‘the islands of smiles’, comprise Melville and Bathurst Island, approximately 80 kilometres north of Darwin in northern Australia. Home to the aboriginal Tiwis who have lived there for almost 7,000 years, the islands offer a wonderful insight into Australian cultural history. The locals live a non-traditional lifestyle and there are plenty of museums showcasing indigenous artwork and artefacts. The Tiwi Islands also boast a stunning coastline which is well worth exploring. You’ll find sandy beaches, secluded waterfalls and refreshing rock pools hidden inside the lush forest which is home to plant and animal species found nowhere else in the world. Given their proximity to northern Australia, travelling by ferry is the easiest way to jump across to the mainland from the Tiwi Islands. The port of Wurrumiyanga offers numerous sailings across the Beagle Gulf to Cullen Bay in Darwin.
