Darwin East Point Reserve

Darwin East Point Reserve is a rocky headland between Fannie Bay beach and the Nightcliff Headland, with a military museum and WW11 relics.

The area was heavily fortified during the war, and the East Point Military Museum is now housed in the original concrete army command post on 4 acres of tropical gardens.

This gun bunker was installed to defend Darwin Harbour from an assalt from the sea, which fortunately never eventuated. The gun was sold to the Japanese after the war as scrap metal.gun emplacement


The reserve has never been developed and is a pleasant place to watch the sun set over the sea. A resident population of wallabies comes out to graze as evening approaches.

The entrance to the reserve is a popular picnic place, with a large children's playground, a man made lake for swimming and the Fannie Bay beach providing plenty of space for family recreation.children's play equipment
