Darwin City Rainforest

This Darwin City Rainforest in Doctors Gully is an unexpected bonus to anyone visiting the fish feeding or walking down from the Esplanade.

The area has a colourful history, site of the first freshwater well in the new settlement established by George Goyder in 1869, but today is a quiet boardwalk through dense rain forest.

The easy way there if you are on foot is to walk down behind the bus stop outside the YWCA in Mitchel St.


A short walk takes you from a busy street to a long stairway leading to a dense forest area.

Low Tide at Doctors GullyLow Tide at Doctors Gully

If you arrive at low tide the place will be quiet, fish need water to put on a show .

 Check the tide times if you want to see the hundreds of fish and rays that come in for a free feed at high tide.
