On 1 July 1978, six thousand Territorians gathered at Darwin Oval and changed everything. But the story of how this place earned the right to govern itself stretches back to 1883 — and it is not finished yet.
Walk the parliamentary precinct. Uncover eight layers of Territory history. Discover what was built, what was bombed, what was won — and what Canberra can still take away.
GPS-guided. Audio narration. Real locations. Headphones essential.
