Out by the Military Museum


After seeing the Egrets on the cliff by the sea, we continued on past the military museum we visited previously to see the shore and beach beyond. On the way through the trees near the beach we found this little fellow out for a stroll. Here is a Northern Water Dragon daring me to take his photo.

Defense of Darwin


On along the road from East Point Beach is the Defense of Darwin Museum. This is a great little museum that tells all about Darwin at the time of WWII and the bombing raids conducted against the city by the Japanese.

As you might imagine, this was all very serious. There were bunkers along the shore where gun emplacements were installed to protect the city.
