This small but interesting military museum, which displays mainly displays from on the World War 11 including the 'Bombing of Darwin' by the Japanese, is situated n a gun command post at East Point.

On display inside and outside are armoured vehicles, historical weapons, videos along with a vast display of orginal photo's, Japanese swords and other pieces from this era.

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.

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.
