 About the tunnels
The World War II Oil Storage Tunnels were built during WWII by the Civil Construction Corps. This unique tourist attraction located in the Darwin Wharf Precinct on Kitchener Drive was reopened in 1992 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin.
Located beneath the cliffs of Darwin city, a short walk from the city centre and the Esplanade this exciting tourist facility is self guided. Your well informed tour guide provides historical information relating to the concept of the tunnels. The WWII Tunnels these days feature a photographic display of Darwin during WWII including photographs of the brave men and women who served in the protection of our great country.
