Darwin

On yet another sunny and hot day, I walked to the Royal Flying Doctor Service on Stokes Hill Wharf where I entered one of their planes and wore a virtual-reality headset to experience the Japanese attack on Darwin on 19 February 1942. There were hologram videos on the attack and on the RFDS.
After taking the hop-on, hop-off bus back to Smith Street, I took another bus to the Military Museum at East Point which also had a video about the attack plus other information about the attack and Darwin. There were also lots of exhibits of military hardware in the grounds and inside some sheds plus information about campaigns by the Armed Forces.
I walked a short distance on the colourful rocks behind the beach near the Museum, and then caught a Big Bus through the suburbs back to town to complete the circuit.
Dinner was pumpkin salad at the Hotel Darwin.Les mer
