What led crowds to brave the crocodile-threatened waters at Lameroo Beach in search of freedom? Who once plotted urgent wartime strategies under Lyons Cottage’s sturdy roof? And why was a motley group of hippies forcibly evicted from this tranquil coastline after wild nights under the stars?
Journey through political intrigue, lingering mysteries, and spirited rebellions as you move with the pulse of Darwin’s past. Prepare to see the city anew, where every landmark brims with drama and forgotten secrets.
