Livingstone is an outer suburban area in Darwin. The name "Livingstone" derived from the war-time airstrip which was named after John D Livingstone, Jnr.[ [http://www.nt.gov.au/lands/lis/placenames/origins/greaterdarwin.shtml#l Livingstone] ] On 4 April 1942, Livingstone was wounded during action over Darwin, but flew to the newly completed 34 mile airstrip where he crash landed, but died in the resultant inferno.][ He was buried at "The Gardens Cemetery".][ The 34 Mile strip was named Livingstone in his honour.]References
