Thread: Hidden tunnels under Darwin?

Don't know about that, but one of the best spots for a cold beer used to be inside the old air raid shelter, at the Navy oil farm. It had been fitted out as a bar, and was cool during the wet. Renamed the Cell bar, not everyone got an invite. My mate and I were fortunate enough to be mates with a ex English Army bloke down tumbling waters way, who had a piggery. He also had diesel power to his property, and we introduced him to the people in charge of the oil farm, where he arranged a trade, fresh pork for the fuel at the bottom of the tank, left after the fuel was pumped out for tank cleans. Little more than sludge, it ran his generator. And we had roast pork on a spit, with a cleansing ale .LG.

Sneaking spies and wartime secrets: Are there really hidden tunnels underneath Darwin?

The old airfields were a good place to find old beer bottles. They turned them upside down, and buried them about 3/4 down, marking the edges of the pathways. Those with metal detectors sometimes found coins. On the dirt road to Casuarina beach, there was an interesting earth " berm " , in off the road in the bush. Some said it was the radar site during the War, whatever it was, it would have protected something from all but a direct hit.
