The Defence of Darwin Experience is the first facility in Australia to provide you, the visitor, with an immersive, interactive, multimedia experience which extends beyond the physical walls of the precinct ‘hub’.
It is the story of Darwin’s role in World War II and is dedicated to the period 1932 to 1945 – a very important time in Territory history. Opening on 18 February 2012, the $10 million Defence of Darwin Experience commemorates the 70th Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin and provides an opportunity for visitors to understand the impact of the war on Darwin and its inhabitants, both civilian and military.
