Museum sights in Darwin

  1. A

    Aviation Museum

    Darwin’s aviation museum, about 10km from the centre, is one for military aircraft nuts. The centrepiece is a mammoth B52 bomber, one of only a few of its kind displayed outside the USA, which has somehow been squeezed inside. It dwarfs the other aircraft, which include a Japanese Zero fighter shot down in 1942 and the remains of an RAAF Mirage jet that crashed in a nearby swamp. Free guided tours commence at 10am and 2pm.

  3. C

    East Point Military Museum

    On the East point’s northern side is a series of WWII gun emplacements and the small East Point Military Museum. Video footage of Darwin Harbour being bombed is a sobering reminder of Australia’s only wartime attack.
