Visitors to Berry Springs will find a general store, petrol station and camping and caravan facilities. The small settlement is mostly visited by people wanting to explore the Territory Wildlife Park and Berry Springs Nature Reserve. Located half an hour drive south of Darwin, the reserve protects a large part of the Berry Creek catchment. Berry Creek begins as a series of springs, forming a small creek which flows into Darwin Harbour through a mangrove lined estuary. Visitors to Berry Springs can enjoy a refreshing swim in the springs and lunch in the nearby picnic ground. If you swim with goggles you can see many native fish and other aquatic life that live in the clear pools. Nearby, the world acclaimed Territory Wildlife Park, located on 800 hectares of natural bushland, showcases the wildlife of northern Australia which visitors can experience up close and in their natural habitat.
