Austalian Aviation & Heritage Museum in Darwin

Darwin's cultural heritage is a unique blend of ancient Aboriginal custom, European pioneering legacy, WWII history and fresh Asian influence.

Begin with a High Tea in the tropical, frangipani-lined gardens of Burnett House, one of the few remaining "troppo" architecture homes on the coast, then move onto the Military and Aviation Museums.
