US President Barack Obama will wind up his visit to Canberra today before heading to the Top End briefly, and wrapping up his whirlwind Australian tour Down Under.

After a warm reception in Canberra yesterday, President OBAMA is due to attend a wreath laying at the Australian War Memorial this morning and address federal parliament.

The president will then fly to Darwin, where he'll visit the memorial of 80 US sailors killed when the USS Peary was bombed by the Japanese in 1942.

And last on his agenda is a defence event with troops at the Darwin Royal Australian Air Force base, where US Marines will start to deploy on a rotational basis from mid-next year.
