At the Darwin Waterfront you can explore the subterranean tunnels bored into the cliff face that were built to house fuel and oil for protection against aerial bombardment. The tunnels were cut about 15 metres underground and the biggest was almost 200-metres long. Wander through the tunnels on a self-guided tour and peruse the historic photographs that tell stories from a dark period of Australia\u2019s history.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\rThe <a name=\"Museum_and_Art_Gallery\">Museum and Art Gallery<\/a> of the Northern Territory\r\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>\nEver wondered what it feels like to stand in the eye of a deadly Category 4 cyclone? At the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory you can experience the terror of Cyclone Tracy in a simulated exhibit that features real-life audio taken during the devastating Christmas Day disaster of 1974 that killed 66 people. The museum, overlooking the Arafura Sea, features artistic, cultural and scientific collections from Australia and abroad, including Sweetheart \u2013 the stuffed body of a five-metre rogue crocodile that terrorised boaters in the 1970s. Best of all, it\u2019s free.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a name=\"Defence_of_Darwin\">Defence of Darwin<\/a> Experience\r\n\n\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Step back in time to experience Darwin during World War II at the $10 million Defence of Darwin Experience. The stirring museum uses interactive and multimedia displays to give visitors an immersive experience of the war that came to Australian shores with devastating force on February 19, 1942. Get a sense of the terror wrought during the Darwin bombings in the multi-sensory theatre, hear first-hand accounts of the conflict, and share your own personal family stories via a digital StoryShare touchscreen. Next visit the adjoining Darwin Military Museum, where you can see tanks, military vehicles, armaments and other wartime relics. <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darwin\u2019s notorious wet season needn\u2019t send you troppo.
