Gardens Cemetery was opened in 1919 after the closure of Palmerston Cemetery on Goyder Road and was Darwin's main cemetery up until 1970. There are many different types of graves, headstones and epitaphs, and Darwin City Council's records list over 1,200 graves. Many notable people from a period of rapid development in Darwin (1920s-1970s) are buried in the cemetery. Many of the memorials indicate ethnic origins, family associations, and circumstances of death and thus comprise an important record of Darwin's community spanning more than six decades. Cultural groups represented in the cemetery include Greeks, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Thursday Islanders as well as Australians of British descent. A number of graves of returned servicemen were moved to Adelaide River for reburial at the Adelaide River War Memorial Cemetery in 1944. Gardens Cemetery was succeeded in 1970 by the McMillans Road Cemetery, though a small number of burials have continued to take place at Gardens Cemetery.

Located in the heart of heritage-listed Guildford, the Garrick Theatre Club is Western Australia's longest continually running community theatre group, proudly entertaining audiences since 1932. Named after 18th century legendary English actor and theatre reformer, David Garrick, the club continues his legacy with award-winning performances and a strong community spirit. The theatre is housed in one of Guildford's most historically significant buildings. Constructed in the early 1850s by convict labour, it originally served as a Commissariat Store and living quarters. Designed by Lieutenant Edmund Du Cane, the building was part of a larger effort to revive the Swan River Colony's economy through vital public infrastructure. Built in the Colonial Georgian style, the single-storey brick structure has served many roles over the decades – from a drill hall for Enrolled Pensioner Guards to a fire station – before becoming the permanent home of the Garrick Theatre Club in the decades that followed. Today, visitors can admire its striking façade or, better yet, step inside and enjoy one of the many high-quality productions staged throughout the year. Whether you're a history buff or a theatre lover, Garrick Theatre offers a unique cultural experience where the past and the performing arts come together in perfect harmony.

A rare and extraordinary example of a continuously lived-in Australian colonial home, still complete with its original furnishings and items of historical interest spanning 160 years of Australian history. Built in 1857 originally as an Inn on the road to the goldfields, Garroorigang became a private home in 1867 and the site up until 1883 of a small private boarding school for the "sons of gentlemen" where a number of famous Australians were educated. The home has been lived in continuously for over 150 years by members of two related families and is today the private home of the Hume family, co-lateral descendants of Explorer Hamilton Hume. The home is filled with original furnishings and family memorabilia reflecting 150 years of living Australian history from the days of the bushrangers down through the Victorian era to the present. Family members provide visitors with a guided tour through the home explaining the history behind the many historical treasures and the stories of the people who have lived there. A visit to Garroorigang is truly a step back in time into a showcase of living Australian history, fascinating for all ages.

Western Australia's longest river, the Gascoyne River feeds the palm-fringed coastal oasis of Carnarvon, producing a year-round bounty of fresh tropical fruits and vegetables. It's a unique upside-down river, flowing above the river bed for just a few months of the year, and flowing below the dry river bed for the rest of the year. Carnarvon lies 904 kilometres north of Perth, just to the south of the Tropic of Capricorn. It's a 2 day drive on the Brand and North West Coastal Highways, or a 2 hour flight from Perth airport. Take a walk or ride the Coffee Pot Train along One Mile Jetty, the longest jetty in the north west of the State, and you'll cross over the Gascoyne River. Continue on to the Indian Ocean and you can access some great deep-water fishing spots without the need for a boat. Those keen to explore the river, when it's in flow, can launch a boat from the ramp at the end of Small Harbour Road. Please note: The Jetty is currently closed for renovations until further notice.
