Overview

Southport is an outer‑rural locality of Darwin that sits at the junction of the Blackmore and Darwin Rivers. The settlement follows the original 1870s street grid, with unsealed but well‑maintained roads, and a concrete boat ramp that attracts boating and fishing enthusiasts despite the river’s tidal mangrove swamp limiting wider access. Its quiet, spacious setting appeals to those seeking a country lifestyle within reach of the greater Darwin region.

The suburb’s layout reflects the historic plan of 335 half‑acre blocks, offering a mix of larger rural parcels. While there are no shops, camping or toilet facilities in‑village, nearby transport links include a bridge at Tumbling Waters and easy access to the Blackmore River Conservation Reserve, providing opportunities for outdoor recreation and connectivity to surrounding communities.
