Defence of Darwin Experience

The Defence of Darwin Experience app is a self-guided tour of 16 World War II heritage sites scattered around the Top End of the Northern Territory. The sites range from Bathurst Island north of Darwin to the township of Adelaide River on the historic Stuart Highway.
 
This app will take you on an extended journey of discovery of the rich military heritage of the Top End and help bring it to life. It incorporates firsthand accounts, images and maps, to help users gain an appreciation of the role and importance of these historic wartime sites. Locations such as airfields, explosives stores, a field hospital, gun emplacements and an aircraft crash site are featured, as are two scenic walks along the Darwin Esplanade. 
 
A visit to the Defence of Darwin Experience facility at East Point in Darwin should not be missed. It is an interactive exhibition space that includes the immersive Bombing of Darwin Gallery, iconic objects, firsthand accounts and multimedia presentations about the war in north Australia.
