Austin Lane, West Lane and other areas: 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.
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. Some of our tours will have photo opportunities at this heritage-listed site, a testament to the destructive power of the cyclone that destroyed much of Darwin.
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. Waterfront restaurants on our tour can include Wharf One, Hot Tamale, Snapper Rocks, Chow, and others. Weather permitting, we’ll dine outside with a view of the harbour.
Just 2km from the Darwin CBD you’ll find the Cullen Bay Marina – a relaxed, tropical, waterside precinct with something to do for everyone. Loved by visitors and locals alike, the Cullen Bay precinct is uniquely located with the marina on one side and the beach on the other.
