Two Iconic Territory Stories in One Iconic Location One started Territory operations in 1939, the other, occurred in 1942 as an act of aggression unparalleled on Australian soil. Both forged the resolve and resilience of the people who live in Australia's Northern Territory. The first iconic story is the Royal Flying Doctor Service, affectionately known throughout Australia as the RFDS. Founded by the Reverend John Flynn, it began its aero medical operations in the Northern Territory in 1939. The second iconic story featured is the Bombing of Darwin on 19th February 1942. The bombing of the harbour brought destruction to the city of Darwin, and many of the experiences and stories of what happened that day. This facility sits on the iconic location of Stokes Hill Wharf which was bombed during the raid on 19th February 1942.

It was fascinating to learn about the establishment of the RFDS and what they can do today. The bombing of Darwin part was also interesting. Loved the VR section.

Well worth a visit while in Darwin- ticket prices are reasonable. My daughter and I spent a good few hours exploring both the Darwin War History and RFDS in this facility. A warm welcome by Chelsea as we entered who explained the activities to do was fabulous and also available & around to check in and assist people as required and was also maintaining the VR headsets in good order and cleaned after use. Loved the VR - very cool idea and so awesome! My first VR experience. My favourite was flying with the RFDS pilot - very cool. The theatre was amazing- loved this too! Plenty of great stuff to explore and experience. Bathroom facilities were spotless - well done! A small shop in between experiences had lots of lovely souvenirs. There is some loud sounds in the open foyer when the Darwin Bombing Experience happens so if sensitive to loud sounds or the Experience itself could find this disturbing or if bringing young children along.
This tour in Northern Territory is organized by Royal Flying Doctor Service Darwin Touri
