A very good self-guided tour - We thoroughly enjoyed this self-guided tour. It did take a lot longer than the recommended time as you are easily sidetracked with additional information that can be sought at each location. The small but modest chinese history museum was thoroughly interesting and Well wprth the $4 entry fee it is very well narrated with interesting history besides the Japanese invasion - which does seem to dominate all things Darwin. Downloading the app was a little bit of a challenge to navigate but worth the effort And frustration. One other thing to note the first site is not clearly identified. The tour really starts on the second site.

Darwin Audio Tour … great free app - I found this audio tour when downloading the Fanny Bay Gaol audio tour. A fantastic free audio tour around Darwin central with personal stories along the way. You also go into Parliament House and discover Ariosto historic buildings in town .. china town, Victoria pub and original open air picture theatre. Thoroughly recommend if you have a spare afternoon in town

Good content, but app crashes constantly - Good concept and informative. However, the app was really buggy. It would shut down constantly, and I would have to restart it and find the spot where it left off. Quite annoying.

Don’t Easter your money - Waste of money. Don’t buy this. The audio kept cutting out and when you lose your place it goes right back to the beginning. It also doesn’t sense where you are so it doesn’t play according to location. Had to abandon this and found another self guided audio tour that was so much better.
