Visited Darwin Memorial Church and learned of it's history. We visited the WWII Oil Storage Tunnels which were constructed to protect the Navy's oil supplies from bombardment during WWII. The 5 steel lined tunnels extend from the wharf & run under the city but they were never used for their intended purpose which was a strategic fuel depot. Due to lack of maintenance when the US forces left in 1945, they remained unused.We explored Darwin's Waterfront Precinct, saw a movie to cool off before a visit to Mindil Beach Sunset markets.
If only money was no object Nick would have started with freshly shucked oysters topped with smoked salmon followed by ... We did however sample deep fried Mars bar & ice-cream. Mmm..
