Things to do around Darwin

Hi Michael,
if you have never been to the Territory Wildlife Park at Berry Springs, it's really worth the visit. You can spend a whole day there easy. Take lunch and drinks with you or eat at the cafe. Make sure you are there well before 10:00 am so you get a seat at the "Flight Deck" where they show off birds of prey. It's a really awesome display and you get right up close to the birds; photo ops as well. Make sure you carry water with you while walking the park or take the tractor train between exhibits.

They have a nocturnal house, aquarium, huge rain forest avery etc. Well worth the time and effort. But do go for the day, ther's lots to see.

After all that, go for a swim at the Berry Springs Reserve just 1K back towards darwin from the wildlife park.

Visit the B52 at the aviation museum at the airport (On highway heading to alice).

Visit the EastPoint military museum

Dont forget darwin itself

the botanical gardens are worth a look as is the Museum - its full of mostly Darwin and NT history and natural history

also tunnel tours near the wharf

Have breakfast at the Ducks Nuts Cafe!!! It's tops!!!!

The oil tunnel is worth a look. Tea at stokes hill wharf and feed the fish. Junping croc tour on Adelaide river well worth it- not the 2 story glass enclosed boat.you want to do the small open boat (can't remember the name) very personal with the crocs. I have a lot more respect for them now.

Hi Michael, im in Darwin also, drove a road train up from Melbourne with gear for games. Leaving Monday morning for return trip. If your into car's and trucks etc make a point to visit the Darwin car clubs shed in Parap, it's in the old Qantas hanger just off the main road out of the city. Has an amazing collection of tools and equipment etc, well worth a couple of hours. Even SHMBO was impressed.

cheers jay
