The gates nowdays
close at 11pm so the nightlights of Darwin clearly
visible from east Pont is also a delight to see.
At the end of East
point if you look direcetly across the harbour
you will see the sleeping town of Mandorah. A
secret getaway with the Darwin locals. There is
a ferry that will take you across and back from
Cullen Bay. At Mandorah there is the Mandorah
Beachfront Hotel for the relaxing spot for a drink
and unwind.

The drive down East
Point Road is amazing especially in November when
the flowers are their brightest.
In the parklands
at the end of east point behind the Gun Emplacements
there were at one time over 1000 Wallabies. Which
came out to graze cautiously at Dusk.
