Charles Darwin National Park is located in the Northern Territory of Australia, 4 km southeast of Darwin.
Charles Darwin National Park is notable for a number of World War II–era concrete bunkers, one of which has been converted into a visitors centre and display of World War II memorabilia. Charles Darwin National Park is also home to a number of excellent lookouts from the Park towards the city of Darwin. It has a number of middens used by the Larrakia people.[1]
The park has extensive fire trails suitable for bush walking plus an excellent mountain bike trail. The mountain bike trail is maintained by the Darwin Off-Road Cyclists Club.[2]
A number of regular events are held in the Park, including the worldwide Earthdance festival.
