Today, we remember those who have served, the families who stood behind them, and the people whose lives were changed by the war.

At the RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility, we share the story of the Bombing of Darwin and what it meant here in Northern Australia for the people who lived and worked here at the time, including acts of bravery recognised many years later, along with the animals that played a part.

We’re open today from 10am to 3pm (last entry 2pm).

Taking time to remember matters.

Lest we forget.

84 years on, we remember the Bombing of Darwin and the impact it had on our community. 🌺

Step into history here on iconic Stokes Hill Wharf. Hear from Lieutenant Commander Etheridge Grant in our holographic theatre, explore our immersive 360° VR experience 🎧 and be brought back to that defining moment through our Window to 1942, where the sound of the air raid siren echoes across the harbour.

We welcome serving defence personnel and veterans with free entry as a small token of our gratitude. General admission is 19% off for the day, with special offers in our gift and souvenir store.
