Darwin Heritage Walk
Explore the city of Darwin with your local guide on this 2-hour walking tour and hear of the history and present-day happenings. From the destruction caused by the WWII bombings and Cyclone Tracy, Darwin has risen and you'll discover many of the remaining buildings, some of which have been painstakingly reconstructed. See the Old Police Station and Courthouse, Brown's Mart and the Old Palmerston Town Hall ruins, and enjoy manicured tropical gardens as your route meanders through city streets and across the paths of pioneers. There are many hidden treasures to see on foot when you explore with a local.
Walk the Botanic Gardens
Walk the Botanic Gardens provides an introduction to the 42 hectares of George Brown Darwin Botanical Gardens. Guided by a Darwin local, you will walk along the same paths as many others have walked for over 130 years, and hear stories of the history and heritage and the revival of the Gardens after cyclones and WWII bombings. See legacies left by prominent Curators, including significant trees and heritage features. Along the way you'll be introduced to many tropical plants that grow in these parkland gardens, each with their own interesting story. Keep an eye out for colourful birdlife, stunning flowers and majestic trees. This guided walk is for those looking to truly experience Darwin's botanic garden.
Hidden Secrets Walk
Sometimes, veering off the main paths and down a laneway is daunting but with a local as your guide, you'll be surprised at the treasures you discover. On the Hidden Secrets Walk, you will uncover history, cool arcades and the Chinese Temple (morning tours only) before taking a musical interlude at the HMS Beagle Ship Bell Chime, viewing some award-winning street art and enjoying a refreshment break at a local cafe.
WWII Reflections Walk
Thursday 19 February, 1942: World War II reached mainland Australia and the northern city of Darwin was bombed. In the current-day multicultural city of Darwin, there are still many reminders of WWII and on this 2-hour walk through the historic quarter of the city, your knowledgeable guide will take you back to that era. Hear stories of that fateful day as you meander past historic buildings of the time that have been re-built to provide lasting memories of life in the north during the War. No WWII tour of Darwin would be complete without a visit into Parliament House, a lasting memorial to the Post Office and staff whose lives were lost in the very first of 77 bombing raids on the town.
