Damoe-Ra Park


Damoe-Ra Park is an urban park in Darwin, Northern Territory, designated in 1996. The park was named Damoe-Ra because the park includes a spring sacred to the Larrakia women, and Damoe-Ra is the Larrakia word meaning "eye" or "spring". The park is situated below the escarpment on the coast below the Parliament [House, Darwin|Parliament House]. The garden itself, together with its memorial pathway, plaques, and mosaic honours the women of the Northern Territory.
