5.00First time visiting Darwin. We did this walk on our last day having done the WWII Bombing of Darwin tour earlier in the week. They complemented each other. The walk around the charming and historical civic area added another layer of history and then to top it off we got a brief tour of Parliament House because there was such a small group. Thank you, Linda for a pleasant and informative morning.
