Day Four – Quiet Day In Darwin

30 June 2019

After yesterday’s long day trip to Kakadu, we decided to have a quiet day today. We decided to start the day, after a quick breakfast with a tour of the WWII Oil Storage Tunnels.  These tunnels were built into Stokes Hill to protect oil storage facilities from being bombed by the Japanese. The tunnels were hand dug without machinery.
