Buddhist Temple

This is one of the tranquil places in Darwin. Very low key for a temple but you feel the harmony there. The door is sometimes locked so knock on the green house next to it.

Buddhist Temple

These folks have 2-3 food fair and event festivals a year - again buy the Northern Territory News on a Saturday. A favourite place many of our Singaporean clients of Tiger Airlines want us to bring them there too.

Chinese Temple

Did you know - Darwin's temple was originally built on the Esplanade next to the old Court House. After complaints about the noise made during ceremonies and festivals it was moved to Woods Street in 1887.

The Woods Street temple was damaged during the cyclones of 1897 and 1937 and also during the bombing of Darwin in 1942. At this time the furnishings and statues were looted and vandalised by Australian soldiers. The temple was restored and reopened on 22 February 1959. In 1974 Cyclone Tracy totally demolished the Temple. Funds were raised from Chinese communities around Australia to rebuild it according to the original design. The new temple was officially reopened on 28 September 1978.

The museum is conveniently located in the central district of Darwin 25 Woods Street, Darwin NT 0800

Rob's Reminising!!! - Well we went to the lantern festival few weeks ago and it was great to see all the visiting folks from the Cavenagh Hotel come over when the Lion Dancers were performing. They don't advertise in the paper much so look at their notice board. Shame it had a large fire there December 2007. But it only burnt one room - the old Dragon Heads were the ones for training James mentioned. Every year on Chinese New Year the performers go around Darwin Businesses performing - Now imagine how hot they get in the humidity of February. Well done folks we really appreciate the performances.
