Attractions around Darwin
Crocodylus Park
Considered the premier croc experience of the Darwin area, Crocodylus Park is the creation of acclaimed crocodile biologist, Professor Grahame Webb.
With thirty years of experience in crocodile related studies, Professor Webb opened the attraction in 1994 and today, the park is home to thousands of crocs (saltwater, freshwater, jumping), ranging from 30-cm-long hatchlings to 5-metre adults.
In addition to a mini-zoo housing monkeys, lions, and large birds, there are feeding tours three times daily, boat tours twice daily, a Crocodile Museum, and opportunities to feed crocs or cuddle baby crocs.
Campervan access: The park is 15 minutes from the city centre and has on-site parking.
Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT), incl. Defence of Darwin Experience
Established in 1966, the Museum sustained significant damage to its collection, after Tropical Cyclone Tracy hit the city in 1974, and today, the museum contains an award-winning exhibit, dedicated to that storm event.
Museum collections encompass Aboriginal art, including carvings from the Tiwi Islands, Northern Territory history, maritime archaeology, and natural sciences.
MAGNT additionally operates the Defence of Darwin Experience within the Darwin Military Museum, which tells the story of the 1942 bombing of the city.
Campervan access: The museum is four kilometres from the CBD, with parking available on-site.
Aviation Heritage Centre / Darwin Aviation Museum
Founded in 1976 by enthusiasts seeking to preserve historic aircraft in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Tracy, the museum is most known for an impressively large B-52G on permanent loan from the United States Air Force, one of only two of this aircraft to be displayed outside of the USA.
Other exhibits include a de Havilland Dove, a Mirage that in 1982 crashed onto nearby tidal flats, an Australian-built F-86 Sabre, and a bomb fragment from the WWII air raid on the city of Darwin. Guided tours are offered at 10am and 2pm.
Campervan access: The museum is easily reached eight kilometres from the city centre by way of the Stuart Highway. Parking is available on-site.
Territory Wildlife Park
Combining traditional zoo-style exhibits with natural bush areas, the Territory Wildlife Park opened in 1989 and is spread along a four-kilometre road loop, with shuttle services and walking paths.
A Nocturnal House exhibits the Top End’s nighttime residents and a tunnel beneath an aquarium puts you up close and personal with a four-metre-long saltwater crocodile. Also available in the park are walk through aviaries, guided Woodland Walks, where you can touch a wallaby, and free-flight bird shows.
Campervan access: The park is 45 minutes south of Darwin, next to Berry Springs Nature Park, along the Stuart Highway. Parking is available on-site.
