The Darwin Audio Tours app is brought to you by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. It features two self-guided audio walking tours in Darwin. On the Inside shares the hidden stories of Darwin’s notorious Fannie Bay Gaol narrated by Larrakia Elder Dr Richard Fejo. Fannie Bay Gaol is located on the corner of East Point Rd and Ross Smith Ave, Fannie Bay, Darwin and is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10am – 2pm. A Tale of Four Cities is an audio walking tour of central Darwin. Destroyed four times through cyclones and war, the real Darwin can be hard to see. Over one hour, local broadcaster Charlie King OAM, will introduce you to Darwin's Traditional Custodians, others who fought to survive here, and the mad visionaries who built a new Darwin after each disaster. Recorded binaurally, both tours feature immersive 3D stereo sound recorded with the help of dozens of Darwin locals. Simply download the free app, put your headphones on and step back in time.
