HEADLINE: More Bombs Than Pearl Harbor. This is the Story They Never Told You.

Uncover the dramatic, untold history of World War II right here in Darwin on this premium 5-hour experience. This isn’t just sightseeing—it’s an immersive journey into the heart of the Pacific War where Darwin served as Australia’s frontline.

All forces of the United States military had a heavy presence in Darwin in WWII. Hear a talk about US involvement by a WWII historian at East Point Military Museum and its Defense of Darwin Experience. Then witness historic WWII aircraft at the Darwin Aviation Museum. At Stokes Hill Wharf, listen to the American captain of a ship describe his harrowing ordeal on the first day of the bombing of Darwin. This innovative facility brings history alive with a Japanese Zero hologram, virtual reality, and impressive re-enactments.

We also visit key landmarks and lay a wreath at the memorial for the sunken USS Peary. Discover the heroism, impact, and resilience of US forces on Australia’s northern frontline. 

You will stand at the vital defensive installations and key impact sites—from the remnants of Stokes Hill Wharf to the heavy artillery emplacements at East Point, seeing the physical scars of the attacks that reshaped Australia forever.

 We cap it off with a beautiful, locally-sourced gourmet meal prepared with the finest ingredients the Territory has to offer. Relax and reflect on the lessons of the day in comfort and style.
