Explore Darwin's WWII history from an American angle.
There were over 5,000 US Forces in Darwin when it was bombed. Hear a talk about US involvement by a WWII historian at the Military Museum and its Defense of Darwin Experience. Then witness historic WWII aircraft at the Darwin Aviation Museum.
At Stokes Hill Wharf, listen to the American captain of a ship describe his harrowing ordeal on the first day of the bombing of Darwin. This innovative facility brings history alive with a Japanese Zero hologram, virtual reality, and impressive re-enactments.
We also visit key landmarks and lay a floral tribute at the memorial for the sunken USS Peary. Discover the heroism, impact, and resilience of US forces on Australia's northern frontline. Includes sightseeing and full gourmet lunch with all alcoholic drinks including cocktails.
