Review of: Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tours
My partner and I enjoyed the whole tour. Not only did we get amazing information about the Darwin bombing we saw the last houses standing from Cyclone Tracy Fantastic tour. Thanks Gazza for a great morning and the famous fruit on offer 😉

Review of: Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tours
We were so impressed with Gary’s knowledge, his passion and his personal service on this tour.

Review of: Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tours

I have no hesitation in recommending this tour.…

Review of: Bombing of Darwin WWII Heritage Tours
This was a very well conducted tour with an engaging host and lots of intriguing information. It gave a fresh perspective to the events that define Darwin’s history including, as an aside, the 1974 Cyclone that also devastated Darwin. What a resilient community this is.
