Art Warehouse Pty Ltd

Art Warehouse was founded by Carol Phayer a practising Artist in 2007. The goal was to have an Art Gallery in Darwin that is contemporary and supports local and regional Artists. Carol is passionate about showing Darwin off as an extremely creative and dynamic location, due the regional location and isolation; Territory Artists have a lot more freedom which radiates through their work.

Burnett House

This is the only surviving example of B.C.G. Burnett’s Type ‘K’ and was unusual in being of two-storey configuration. A unique feature is the coloured compass inlay in the ground floor concrete slab. Burnett’s original plans and early photographs indicate a rainwater tank at the rear, near the laundry. The house was damaged by Cyclone Tracy in December 1974. From about 1983 the house remained vacant and was boarded up to prevent access from itinerants until it was restored in 1988 for the National Trust. It was officially opened as the headquarters of the Trust by the Administrator, Commodore Eric Johnston, on 18 April 1989. It then became known as Burnett House, after its designer. Burnett House offers guided tours of the house and surrounding gardens. Afternoon Tea is available on the third Sunday of every month from 2pm to 5pm (except for December and January) bookings recommended.The only experience of its kind in Darwin, the precinct is an educational and photographic experience not to be missed.

We loved Burnett house . Built in 1939 by the Government architect , Benny Burnett, it was part of the plan to house public servants posted from Canberra on short term contracts . The tropical design , Intended to maximise ventilation , & guard against termite attack , offered a fresh twist on the “ Queenslander” designs . It’s a “ cool & shady “ refuge surrounded by a tropical garden . I love looking at old houses, so I’m biased , but I found the visit fascinating . Our Volunteer guide was a veritable mine of local knowledge & history , & really made the experience come alive ( right down to the WW2 bullet holes ) .... this house survived the War, as well as Tracy & is well worth a visit .

B-24 J Liberator Wreck Site

Reviewed By 43catherinew - Kingaroy, Australia

Driving to Wagait beach follow the large brown sign, turning off onto a narrow bitumen road with a 100km/hr speed sign. Don't do 100! 60 km/hr more appropriate, pot holes and sections of road broken. There is no distance marker to the next turn, but it is not too far, a few kilometres. You take a dirt track, a little rough but well worth the slow journey to come across this historic sight. Take a moment to reflect on impacts of war while there!
