Darwin Street Art

Austin Lane, West Lane and other areas: an unexpected surprise when wandering Darwin's city streets is the murals that adorn the walls of our laneways. Since 2017, the Darwin Street Art Festival has brought vibrancy and colour to the city's walls, with international, national and local artists contributing to the large-scale art gallery. We’ll have photo opportunities in Darwin's celebrated Austin Lane, home to giant street art paintings.

Excellent Tour in Darwin

We booked this tour as a shore excursion during a stop in Darwin. Our guide, Yvonne, met us at the designated spot and proceeded to share a lot of information with us. All three of us couples were on the ship, so timing worked out great. During the first food stop we enjoyed excellent examples of Vietnamese food at Ruby restaurant, then walked around the city for a couple of hours looking at and learning about the street art in Darwin and the aboriginal influences. We also visited the Parliament House and heard about the role of Darwin in world war 2. Our final stop was at Snapper Rock , where we had amazing fresh snapper, cauliflower popcorn and crocodile!! Yvonne was nice enough to walk back with us into the city and point us towards some great places to shop for local souvenirs. We highly recommend this tour if you have a few hours in Darwin.

We really enjoyed our tour with Kathy. Discovering the art works and the stories behind them was an excellent way to start (including meeting one of the artists from LA who was part way through the mural). From there, a truly delicious meal at a number of restaurants showed us parts of Darwin we were yet to explore. A really great and tasty way to spend an evening!
Best way to spend an evening in Darwin!

This is a fantastic way to learn about and admire Darwin’s street art, to walk around the main core of the the city with knowledgeable and entreating guide (thank you, Richard!) and try local food in popular local spots. Wonderful experience, especially thanks to small group setting that allows meaningful conversations and gives time to ask any questions. And they are answered!
