In all, there are 19 aircraft on display, from Mirage and Sabre jet fighters to a Royal Australian Wessex helicopter. From Ross & Keith Smith to Bert Hinkler, from Amy Johnston to Dick Smith to the National Coastwatch service, aviation has played a major part in the development of the Northern Territory

  • Established 130 years ago, the George Brown Botanic Gardens have survived numerous cyclones and the direct effects of World War Two.

Not only will you have the chance to see some unique and exotic plants but even some local wildlife
