Holmes Jungle Nature Park is a protected area in the Northern Territory of Australia consisting of a small, relatively isolated area of monsoon forest at the edge of northern suburbs of the territorial capital of Darwin.
It provided a habitat for a large variety of native birds, mammals and reptiles which are able to breed and find refuge in the thick vegetation.
[2] The creek connects up other waterways of the Shoal Bay area and saltwater crocodiles can always be present.

[4] Once known as "Holtze Jungle" after the Government Gardener Maurice William Holtze who held land in the area, it was renamed "Holmes Jungle" after Felix Holmes, a butcher who once raised cattle in the area.
