Had a great time toying around Darwin on the Hop On Hop Off bus. Very interesting and informative. Hopped off at the Darwin Museum which covered WW11 bombing of Darwin through to Cyclone Tracy and beyond. Also we to the RFDS which was also interesting. Back on the bus and back to the city centre.

Relaxing Bus Ride

The drivers were friendly and very knowledgeable. Even funny at times when he tricked me into thinking my ticket had expired. The trip takes you around a large variety or locations and this gave us time to jump off and on at the different locations. Spent from 9am - 4.30pm (last bus) going around all the sites and seeing different aspects each time.
