Your Bombing of Darwin virtual reality experience is located within the RFDS Tourist Facility, and is a state of the art presentation which includes life size holograms, interactive story telling mini ghosts, virtual reality of the bombing of Darwin Harbour, replicas of a Japanese Zero aircraft and Camilla the Flying Boat, and a window of 1942 and an aerial view of the bombing raids.

Before this tour we had no idea that Australia was even bombed during WWII. The harbour cruise and commentary was well done. Following that we went to the nearby Royal Flying Doctor and Bombing of Darwin visitor centre. The movies and Virtual Reality experiences really helped bring the history to life. This was a unique tour for someone who likes history.
