This former open-air cinema is one of the few original buildings from pre-Cyclone Tracy. Though it has been converted to a chic retail hub, your guide will point out its historic features and share with you its stories of old.

This building has remained part of Darwin’s social culture for over 100 years. Your guide will share a few of its stories as you peruse the exterior of this site.

Many of Darwin’s pioneers have passed through this site. Now in ruins, the Old Palmerston Town Hall provides modern-day Darwin with a visible reminder of its past residents.

These beautifully restored buildings and their gardens encapsulate life from the early years of Darwin. Today, they are used as offices for The Administrator of the Northern Territory.

A grand building presiding over Darwin Harbour. Here, you’ll learn more about the self-governing modern city of Darwin.
