I found this an amazing structure; built under the city. These were huge oil storage tanks manually dug out of the ground then lined with steel plate. Unfortunately these tanks had problems with leaking oil escaping into the bay, thus decommissioning them not long after the war. The guide at the front is very friendly and informative.

Oh this is an amazing experience! It truly is worth visiting. Lovely staff, and an interesting historical site. Easy to walk around, the history is tangible and almost seeps through the walls. An amazing reminder of hard work in difficult conditions. Lest We Forget.

Just cross from the Darwin waterfront is this little tour. For under $10 you can take a walk through history. Everything is signed on the self tour walk and it’s a very interesting time in Darwin to learn more about.

What a fascinating place! We were met by Scott who gave us a terrific run down and then off we went through the tunnels. The recorded information was great but a little difficult to wait for the end before moving through to each area. A very worthwhile place to visit with a lot of historical information to read. Thanks for taking our photo at the end Scott. You were great! Thank you for the experience.

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.

This is Australian history at it finest the tunnel were built during the 2ndW war and played a very important part in fuel storage and saving the fuel from begin blown up during the Japanese bombing runs at the nt area they are a true credit to the people who designed and made these because with out these fuel tunnels there would have been no fuel for the air force planes to defend the top of Australia and the islands off the coast the Darwin area was bomded more times than pearl harbour was over 240 times from start to finish these are a must to see as this is history of Australia

Don’t miss out on this amazing place. A part of Australia’s history. A must to visit when you come to Darwin. Before you enter Rob is there to meet and greet you prior to your up coming adventure. Rob gives you a great over sight of the historic tunnels He is so knowledgeable for us the tourists. He even arranged a great city tour as well. Well done Rob. And happy 30 th anniversary coming up in assisting all us tourists with the history of your great city. Darwin. Coffee on the way. Regards Brian and Olivia.

We are locals and took our 5yo grandson to visit this historical sight. He was interested and fascinated by the adventure. We were able to give him a basic understanding of their significance. Definitely worth a visit.

An important step back in time to Darwin's WWII secret underground oil storage tunnels. Close to the Darwin Port it's well worth a visit. Self guided with lots of historical information and photos.

The underground museum provided good history of darwinsWW2 history

Amazing to experience going back in time, walking through the preserved underground oil storage tunnels of the 1940’s during WWII, learning about the mystery and history of this place that is fascinating and honouring our Australian Diggers as well … One of the best museums I’ve been to and a unique, memorable experience for couples, families with kids and groups. Make sure you get yourself a comic and use your mobile camera to bring the stories and characters of that era to life, including colouring in exercises for the young ones.

Very interesting. Only found this place after a local suggested we have a look. Reasonable entry price and some great history. Probably a bit boring for kiddies (lots of reading of plaques) and not accessible.

Really interesting place to visit with a lot of information about Darwin and the surrounding areas from the war time.

A very interesting place. It's worth a visit if you are not claustrophobic.

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

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

Hot inside but worth it. Not pram or wheel chair friendly. Wear closed in shoes

Very interesting and a good read of information. Glad we visited here. we went to the War museum after this.

Definitely worth a visit. I thought I would find it too claustrophobic, but bigger than I thought, well lit and plenty to read along the walls, as you walk along. Fascinating part of Darwin's history and to think they kept it a secret for so long.

An interesting perspective of history in Darwin . The tunnel is well appointed with the stories and history of the tunnels during and after the war.

An interesting place to visit- not a huge amount to see but an impressive structure. Because the information is provided via posters it might not be a brilliant experience for very young children. It was a little unsettling to read of all the engineering issues that have bedevilled it, whilst seeing the water pouring down the walls! But worth a visit.

This was our first visit to Darwin’s World War 2 Oil Storage Tunnels, which are an intriguing link with the city’s wartime history. It's really impressive. The tunnels feature interpretative boards with information about the war years, and they've just launched an augmented reality experience. The past comes to life, thanks to a 3D host known as AADFA Man. Well worth checking out. Thanks team for your hospitality!

Interesting historical site in Darwin providing a very detailed (quite a lot to take in) history of Darwin, the bombing impact and city planning and infrastructure. Worth a look to step back in time. Prob a 30-45min visit

I meannn idk it was supposed to be THE thing to do in the city but I was really disappointed. It's not that big and you want some info about wwii go to the roadmasters that is better. If you have time do it, otherwise you will survive without visiting a long highway underneath 😉

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.

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 nice and cheap way to kill around an hour or so. Informative on a self guided tour throughout the tunnel. Heavy duty fans throughout for circulation so it isn't crazy hot, although the humidity is always there. A decent sight in Darwin for some WWII History, consists of around a 200m walk to the end of the tunnel and back.
