The Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tour banner

If you consider yourself a history buff or you’re interested in WWII history, the Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tour is something you shouldn’t miss on your trip to Darwin. Like many countries throughout WWII, Australia was not left untouched. Darwin in particular suffered as a result of Japanese bombing. This part of Northern Australian was devastated and greatly threatened.

The Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tour will take you back in time to witness for yourself the parts of Darwin that were affected during WWII. You’ll see the heritage listed sites as well as relics, original photographs and Japanese occupancy money. You’ll be shown around by a guide who knows all there is to know about this particular topic and period in time. Your guide will provide you with interesting commentary covering a number of intriguing facts and stories. You’ll discover the answer to big questions like:

- What actually happened in Darwin during WWII?

- Why did the Curtin Government manipulate the truth?

- Why did successive Governments continue to cover up the truth for decades?

What sites will you see?

The tour takes you to a number of sites including Stokes Hill Wharf, the Catalina Flying Boat Base, Anti-Aircraft Gun site, Zero Bullet Holes and the Submarine Boom Cable. You’ll also get to see the museum. Entry cost to the museum is included in the price of your tour.

The tour will include:

- Transport. You’ll be driven around in comfortable air conditioned transport, so you needn’t worry about having to drive yourself in your Darwin Airport rental car.
