Today we went to Charles Darwin National Park. We looked in one of the bunkers which had some old bombs and information on world war 2. We went to a lookout and could see Darwin CBD. We then had lunch. After lunch we went to the Wave Lagoon but decided not to go swimming. We looked around the waterfront and then went to an old defence area on the East Point Reserve. We saw a tug boat pulling another boat that was half under water and might have been a refugee boat.We went to two large cement buildings that held 9 inch guns, but only went into one because the other one was part of a museum and was closed. These guns were designed before the war and only built and test fired near the end of the war and were never fired in anger (at an enemy ships). We then returned to the caravan park and went swimming until dark.
