East Point Military Museum

The East Point Reserve is set on a peninsular of land overlooking Beagle Gulf and is a wonderful recreational area with extensive walking and cycling paths, relaxing picnic areas with free barbecue facilities and playgrounds for the kids.

The reserve is home to Lake Alexander as well as the Darwin Military Museum (entry costs apply). East Point played a significant role in the protection of Australia during WWII and it is possible to watch footage of the bombings of Darwin through World War II and look through the extensive photographic and information displays at the Darwin Military Museum.

East Point is also well known for its wallaby colony and as one of the best sites in Darwin for watching sunsets.
