- AglassortwoMelbourne, Australia267 contributionsWe took in the free 10.30am guided tour on a Friday. There is also a booklet provided for a self-guided tour at other times. Through security you find yourself in a rather pleasant building that overlooks the bay. Built on the site of the Post Office that was bombed in WW2, there are memorial plaques and a display to acknowledge this part of Darwin's history. Our guide was full of facts and info and explained the features of how the NT parliament operates. The tour went for about an hour, and I could have done with somewhere to sit after about half an hour, so when we got to the chamber of the end, it was a relief to sit in the public gallery. A cafe is within the building if you want something to eat or drink. You can also look in the NT Library with is just off the main hall.Written July 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C_and_J_LewisSydney, Australia503 contributionsFree to visit however they are seeking donations. This is an old gaol and has lots of interesting information as you walk around - both information boards and audio on a phone with QR code access. The general area is also beautiful with a lagoon nearby to swim in. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.Written July 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Donald JBellingham, WA971 contributionsGood place to catch a cool breeze and look out on the harbor. Detailed description of the Japanese bombing and the aftermath.

- AussieRicho1Wollongong, Australia1,733 contributionsPart of the Bicentennial Park. Yes its another war memorial but with a backdrop consisting of an awesome nature park plus the amazing turquoise water behind it, this memorial is in the perfect spot.

- KatielouAustraliaHobart, Australia1,929 contributionsThe diversity of artwork was fabulous. It was easy to download a map and just wander around the streets. Easy to spend a few hours meandering and finding the works in different places.Written November 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- K72Melbourne, Australia3,082 contributionsThe old Star Theatre site is now some little boutique shops and cafes. They close early on weekdays. There is a little bit of signage inside about the old theatre that was destroyed in Cyclone Tracy in 1974. It's tucked away in the mall, I had walked past several times before I even noticed it.Written October 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- polly m4 contributionsIf you're interested in Darwin history, in alternative energy sources or in architecture, this is well worth a visit. It is a national Trust property, so well maintained. I was lucky to meet a guide who explained the history and the principles behind the design. Pity they don't follow those principles today instead of replying on expensive and wasteful air conditioning.Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DeniseLGoodfellowDarwin River, Australia14 contributionsA colleague ad I carried out the original fauna surveys of Mantom Dam in the 1980s and we spotted what appeared to be estuarine crocodiles in the pools left after the dam had been drained. However, their presence was not acknowledged for years. I advise against swimming.Written March 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,444 contributionsNothing really to see (just the remnants of two walls that survived the destruction of Cyclone Tracy in 1974). No need to go out of your way to see, but if in the area, have a quick look. The history of the building is interesing.Written September 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Liz WToowoomba, Australia24 contributionsOur visit to Survivors' Lookout was a great way to read about some of the history of the Darwin Harbour area. The information boards in the area create an interesting time line to follow. It is a pity that the vegetation has been allowed to grow in front of the viewing platform so the view is very patchy. Having said this it should not discourage visitors from going and checking it out.Written October 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AussieRicho1Wollongong, Australia1,733 contributionsWe passed this airstrip on the way home to Darwin. I saw the signs as we were driving but was knocked back a little when we saw some ímitation' planes on the runway. It took my mind into the situation Australia was in way back in WWII. There was another airplane strip a bit further north. They both still look like they are suitable for landing.Written October 13, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
