    The holographic cinema experience set the scene for the interactive 8 minute bombing of Darwin Harbour. The skies and the harbour were brought to life by this amazing virtual experience. And to set it all off was the Darwin Harbour cruise highlighting the areas of bombing attacks. Docked at the wharf was the HMAS Stalwart plus two new Navy Patrol Boats.

    All forms of story telling regarding Darwin's part in the war were very interesting and well done. We enjoyed the Harbour Cruise which was also very informative and it was lucky we had a beautiful fine day to enjoy this trip.
