Holmes Jungle Nature Park

Darwin

DirectionsLocated just out of Darwin, from the CBD take Tiger Brennan Drive east until you reach Amy Johnson Drive. Turn left and follow this road until you reach McMillans Road, turn right here and then left onto Vanderlin Drive. The Holmes Jungle Nature Park entry is signposted off Vanderlin Drive with parking at the Hilltop Picnic Area.

The Hike - With another family holiday planned to the NT, this time we would be heading south and staying in Katherine. Flying into Darwin and spending a full day there before driving to Katherine, I had one last walk that I wanted to do. For some reason I had missed seeing the Holmes Jungle Nature Park as a viable place to visit on our last trip in 2019, so this visit I was going to rectify that. Located a short drive from the centre of Darwin, I suggested to Caris that we make it a mid afternoon visit before heading to the famous Mindal Markets when they opened.
