WWII Oil Storage Tunnels

Very interesting and somewhere different to visit. If the history of Darwin interests you, add to your to do list

Nice way to explore this interesting piece of history of Darwin, lots of information panels. Wander around this special place and just enjoy.

Interesting historical place that you don't generally hear about. Self guided with downloaded commentary. Only downside advertising on screen half way down tunnel for a different activity

Advertising brochure said closed at 4.00pm when in fact they closed at 1.00pm. Other travellers arriving when we were also disappointed.

Interesting tunnel, but rather expensive $8.5 for admission. I had went to other informative museums before I came here. So, not want to pay and go inside. Just look from outside. Lights are on at night. It's bright when we passed here on Sunday night (~7pm).

A quick visit with information about how why and when the WW2 oil storage were built. Nothing much happens. You walk a tunnel and read about all sorts of facts about the tunnel.

A trip into Darwin's WWII history. Informative displays throughout the tunnel. Got and humid inside but there are fans on the walls.

Great place, so much information, very interesting, lady (blonde hair) at entrance was lovely & helpful, a great place to visit

Pretty fascinating place in it's raw form with water still flowing through and information dotted throughout. Fair entry price and some merchandise available.
Worth a look!

Interesting history of the construction and use of the tunnels. An engineering feat against the odds.
The lighting of some exhibits wasn't working so we used our phone torch to read the information at these points. Worth a visit

Very Interesting adventure and historical site. Worth a visit if you're an oil tunnel enthusiast!

I found this an interesting addition to the Darwin WW2 story. I highly recommend you download the 11min audio tour explaining the story of the tunnels. I really enjoyed the small art exhibition at the end of the tunnel- showcasing art by some very talented northern territory kids.

Although it's an interesting display, I wouldn't recommend visiting in times of COVID-19, as there is little ventilation in the tunnels (understandably) and nobody is wearing masks.

If you're into history then you'll enjoy this. It's very affordable and won't take up much of your day. It was super interesting but I found that some of the displays weren't very well maintained/cared for. It gets super hot in there and it's very damp. I don't think you'd want to spend a great deal of time down there for health reasons, but it is worth a look!

Good self walking tour through two of the old underground oil tanks, with pictures and information boards.i testing history of Darwin.

Quite an interesting place, full of history. One tunnel has information posters hung on the walls which are information and interesting to read. My youngest got bored and so I had to move quicker and just find fun facts for her and explore the tunnel. My husband enjoyed taking his time reading the posters. Quite a fascinating place.

A unique experience that is a must see when visiting Darwin. The sheer size of these artefacts are jaw dropping enough, let alone the story behind them. Can be a little hot and stuffy, but the team behind the venue do the best they can to accommodate this with fans and chairs throughout.

Such a great experience, learning about WWII in Darwin * Don't forget to take water in with you, as it gets quite hot in there
