WWII RAAF Explosive Storage Area, Darwin

Great piece of Australian war history. Pity NT Government or local Dawin council has respected it enough to maintain it! When we got there, the signs were faded, which seemed similar to a lot of other ww2 sites we saw - no real maintenance at all. Homeless persons were using it as shelter and place strewn with rubbish. Given such an important part of Australian history and our freedoms was shame to see this..

Run down and poorly done The signage needs to be replaced and a pathway should be installed to allow the place to remain a historical landmark I gave it four stars because of the significance of the site The government should spend a little on it to maintain it

This area is easy to find, and is close to the East Arm boat ramp. Grass is mown regularly, and the area was clear of debris. Educational information and a site plan guide you through the site. You can almost feel the importance this site played in June 1942. We enjoyed walking through the gun bays and command post. We couldn't find the latrine though.

Would be a lot better if the signs were maintained and easier to read but overall a nice place to check out if you’re into WW2 history easy to find and plenty of parking
