Hello and welcome to Darwin, the Northern Territory's tropical capital and a melting pot of history, culture and nature. This is a city where you can find ancient Aboriginal art, World War II relics, modern street art and exotic wildlife all within walking distance. And that's exactly what we'll do on this self-guided audio tour.

Darwin is the ancestral home of the Larrakia people, who have lived here for more than 40,000 years. The town was named after Charles Darwin by his friend John Wickham, who sailed here on the HMS Beagle in 1839. Since then, Darwin has faced cyclones, bombings and fires, but has always bounced back with resilience and spirit.

This walking tour takes you to some of Darwin's most famous sights and hidden treasures. You will discover the city's stories and secrets, meet some of its quirky characters and sample some of its delicious food. You'll also enjoy beautiful harbour views and lush gardens along the way.

Best of all, you can do this tour at your own pace and style. You can stop whenever you like, take a break, have a drink or a snack, and pick up again when you're ready. There is no rush and no stress. You are in charge of your own adventure!
