Howard Springs Nature Park is a 286 hectares (710 acres) protected area located 35 kilometres (22 mi) south of Darwin, Northern Territory. A suitable habitat for waterfowl of the Northern Territory, it also has swimming areas. And walking trails. The actual Springs became important in 1910 when they came under consideration as a solution——to Darwin's unreliable water supply.
