Itinerary

  • Darwin (Pass By)

    The streets of Darwin CBD are home to many buildings that have connections to Darwin's past and many are still in use today. Stories of the past and the people who ensured Darwin became an important part of current day Northern Territory are aplenty. Public artworks dot the route.

  • Star Village

    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.

    10 minutes

  • Brown's Mart Theatre

    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.

    10 minutes

  • The Old Town Hall

    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.

    10 minutes

  • N/A

    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.

    10 minutes

  • Parliament House

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

    10 minutes

  • Bicentennial Park

    Bicentennial Park, overlooking Darwin Harbour, provides residents and visitors with green space to enjoy leisure and recreation activities. There are many hidden treasures dotting the area, reminding us of early Darwin, WWII, life pre-Cyclone Tracy. You may even see local birdlife.

Fantastic walking tour in Darwin city

Published on Nov, 2024

Our tour with our guide John was incredibly informative, his knowledge was outstanding, the tour pace was very good and the stories that he relayed to us were interesting and fun. An absolutely outstanding use of our limited time in Darwin

Informative and fun

Published on Aug, 2024

Fabulous guide. Robin (as a local) has a wonderful knowledge of the history of Darwin. You will hear quirky, informative and interesting facts. It's given a much broader perspective and appreciation of Darwin and it's residents both past and present.

Amazing

Guided walking tour with a very knowledgable, funny and accessible guide. He knows all kinds of stories about Darwin! We would have done the other tours with John as well, had we had a few more days here.

Fabulous day with Robyn

Published on Jun, 2024

Walked to the centre of town to meet Robyn our walking tour guide. It was just us two which was perfect. We felt very relaxed all day, despite the heat which saps my energy. Robyn talked about history, buildings, Aboriginal people and more. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Great walk

John was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Darwin’s history. We learnt a lot. The walk was well paced. Thank you
