East Point is close to Darwin CBD and at the top end of Fannie Bay. I first went there, from Melbourne, in 1982 and it was a reserve. In 2015, it is still a reserve; now, with recreational facilities that come with the passage of time! It is a special place for me linked to love, survival and change; a long story, a story too long to retell here! If one happens to be in #Darwin, do go there and delight in the rocks, cliffs and sea. Watch out for the changing tides though! 🇦🇺 #iPhoneonly Top End #NorthernTerritory #roadtrip. P.S. Spot the fishermen and the moon! 😉](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353750/53abd66c-ee42-4ccb-bcb0-81e6d9b98b37.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Beware of the crocs 🐊](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353750/f2e662ed-5c0c-4858-a972-21a74eb7564e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Defence Of Darwin Experience showing military items and interior views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6285078/f63cca37-03ed-4c49-b56b-f5d9837e7799.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit East Point Things to do Hotels Where to stay [Darwin travel guide](https://expedia.co.uk/Darwin.dx6131317) --- ### Popular places to visit ![Defence Of Darwin Experience showing art and interior views](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6285078/5a4f192a-0a55-4a23-8c3a-aea406636783.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Defence Of Darwin Experience Learn about one of the most important periods in Darwin’s history, the disastrous day when it was first bombed by the Japanese during World War II.
