"Meet Betty - a 1940s Studebaker, built in the USA for the military and now one of the most unique ways to explore Darwin! We joined David on the Darwin History and Wartime Experience Tour on our recent visit and it was superb. It's a 90-minute run around town in this amazing heritage vehicle, complete with informative live commentary. Anyone wanting to delve into Darwin’s backstory will love this tour! Note: Betty has the wet season off."
