EAST POINT RESERVE REVIEWS

One of the cleanest place i'd been in. This is a place where you can really enjoy running, cycling, picnic or just relax and experience the beauty of mother nature. Just a little walk here you'll surely feel the breeze of the sea. So much to do here. But unfortunately for me, we only have limited time to spare to fully experience the vast beauty of this reserve. Wish to go back here someday. Anyway, there are lots of dedicated parking slots for those with their vehicles. And also there are some public toilets. If you love birds, there are plenty here, and if you're patient enough you'll also see some Wallaby here. So much good things about this place. Just go there and experience it.

Lovely spot. Nice breeze on the day. Nice to have a swim in the lake. Lots of shady trees under which you can picnic.

Beautiful place to travel I recommend anyone that travels to Darwin to go their.

HOLMES JUNGLE NATURE PARK REVIEWS

This is a great state park. You can do two walks back to back in less than an hour spanning savannah woodland to monsoon forest. In the dry there's no mosquitoes but in the wet you definitely want to cover up. It's really beautiful especially when the little creeks are flowing. The best part: most of the walk is in shade, which is a rarity in Darwin. I've gone here with a bub in a carrier a few times now and highly recommend it.

A stunning little walk, scattered with beautiful swimming holes (take your bathers) and wildlife around every corner. Best of all, it's close to the heart of the city as opposed to an hour out of town.

A wonderful place for walking bike riding and horse riding. Walk through tropical rainforest. Have a picnic.

CASUARINA COASTAL RESERVE REVIEWS

Very nice area with plenty of picnic spots and seats. BBQ places are are also provided and reasonably maintained. Toilet facilities are also provided along with drinking water.

Beautiful coastal reserve park. A bit windy. Large area with plenty of free carparks. Picnic area. Children's playground. Follow the signs, going the Dripstone cliff stairs down to the beach, and watch WWII Observation Post and then the Rock face carvings.

A large and long Coastal Picnic grounds, plenty of parking areas, bbq facilities and toilet facilities placed along the area, good access to beach and good pathways.
