East Point Reserve
A nature reserve on a headland north of the city, where large groups of agile wallabies appear in the evening. The coastal path offers Timor Sea sunsets.
East Point Reserve is a large area of woodland, grassland and coast on the northern headland of Darwin. It has cycle paths, walking trails, a mangrove boardwalk and an artificial lake. In the evening, dozens of agile wallabies often graze on the grass. It is a great place to see wallabies up close within the city. The clifftops by the sea are also a popular sunset spot. The Darwin Military Museum is inside the reserve. Swimming is not permitted in the lake or the sea, and you should bring insect repellent in the evening.
