Itinerary highlights

Darwin Street Art

An unexpected surprise when wandering Darwin’s city streets is the murals that adorn the walls of our laneways. Since 2017, the Darwin Street Art Festival has brought vibrancy and colour to the city’s walls, with international, national and local artists contributing to the large-scale art gallery. We’ll have photo opportunities in Darwin’s celebrated Austin Lane, home to giant street art paintings.

The Old Town Hall, Darwin, Australia

On Christmas Eve 1974, after almost a century enduring tropical conditions and 64 air raids during World War II, Darwin’s Town Hall literally started crumbling during Cyclone Tracy. The heritage building—erected 14 years after European settlers arrived in the region in 1869—was damaged beyond repair by the natural disaster, as was much of the city. We’ll have photo opportunities at this heritage-listed site, a testament to the destructive power of the cyclone that destroyed much of Darwin.

Darwin Waterfront

This is a great place to find gourmet food and drink, not to mention that it’s set on a beautiful lagoon on Darwin Harbour. Our tour is constantly changing and we feature different establishments on different days of the week.
