Darwin's History
Steeped in ancient Aboriginal values and beliefs and moulded by the tough European pioneering character, Darwin enjoys a unique heritage that surprises many who visit.
Its role as Australia’s frontline against the very same Japanese force that struck Pearl Harbour is only just now being celebrated and respected. Today, visitors can experience WWII heritage unlike anywhere else in Australia.
Sacred Aboriginal sites exist in and around Darwin, with guided tours introducing visitors to the world’s oldest living culture.
Visitors can also experience what it was like to be living in Darwin when the ferocious winds of Cyclone Tracey struck on Christmas Eve in 1974, devastating the city for the second time.
