Great Territory icon, excellent museum filled with historical and cultural life of northern Australia. Great Maritime history of traditional trading vessels of Australasia. Nice cafe with aircon or outside dining.
Twice visited museum/art gallery and well worth for both Tiwi art, Cyclone Tracy and great views of bayside from windows throughout the building. All buses stop at entry so very easy transport to visit. Seniors enjoy free travel on No 6 local bus.
