Those with big imaginations, who have dreamed of flying across the outback and saving lives as a Royal Flying Doctor Service pilot, can climb aboard a real decommissioned RFDS aircraft, sit in the cockpit, and even experience a virtual reality flight from the perspective of a real patient.

With cutting-edge virtual reality technology, you can find yourself on the deck of the Neptuna as it explodes in Darwin Harbour, dodging Japanese fighter planes in an aerial dogfight. Holographic projections allow guests to hear firsthand from Rear Admiral Etheridge Grant as he recounts the 1942 Bombing of Darwin attack. A full-size replica of a Japanese Zero aircraft suspended from the ceiling makes the experience even more real.

This is no ordinary museum and families will find plenty to love at the RFDS Darwin Tourist Facility. Add it to your must-visit list for an adventure that is both thrilling and educational.
