The Darwin Cenotaph commemorates those from the Northern Territory who served in conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The centotaph lists the names of those who have died in service or been killied in action, with those from World War One listed on three plaques in front of the cenotpah
It was originally erected outside Government House in 1921 to commemorate World War One, and was relocated to the Civic Centre in 1970 and then to its present location in Bicentennial Park in 1992.
The cenotaph contains plaques commemorating World War Two, Korea, Malaya, Borneo and Vietnam. At the rear of the cenotaph is a red granite wall and three flagpoles. On either side of the cenotaph are curved red granite walls. On the left and right walls are listed campaigns that have involved Australian units; all details are in gold leaf.
The cenotaph overlooks Darwin Harbour from where all men left during World War One and would have been one of the last familiar sites the men would have seen as they sailed off to war. It overlooks the harbour where so many died during the Japanese air attack on 19 February 1942 and is located on the site where the guns of the 14th Anti - Aircraft Battery were positioned and which fired the first shots in defence of Australia on Australian soil during World War Two.
