Chinese have been an important part of Darwin's history from early settlement through to current day. On this guided walk we'll explore the Chinese heritage of Darwin as you stroll through the area once known as Chinatown, en route to see one of its last original buildings. Along the way, your guide will tell the stories of market gardeners, grocers, miners, merchants, and Mayors. Included is a short visit to the NT Chinese Museum where you may peruse the model of Chinatown before WWII, explore exhibits at your leisure and listen to the recorded spoken histories of Chinese residents. Alternatively, take time at the Chinese Temple and enjoy the contemplative atmosphere.

A level of fitness is required for this walk as you will be standing and walking for 90 minutes with very few places to sit and rest. Dress for the weather and bring a bottle of drinking water, and wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat and sunscreen.

All community members with a NT Seniors Card are invited to attend.
