Suburb of Darwin, the Northern Territory, Australia
Hughes is an outer rural locality of Darwin , located approximately 38 km (24 mi ) south-west of the city in the Litchfield Municipality . The name of the locality derived from Hughes Airfield constructed in the area during the Second World War . The airfield itself was named after W A Hughes, Director of Mines in the Northern Territory before the war.[1] Stuart Highway . The eastern portion of Hughes, north of Townend Road is characterised by mostly small farms and rural residential development.
In 2021, Hughes Airfield received a Federal government grant of $600,000 to re-seal the runway, reflecting its role in support of aerial firefighting operations during the bushfire season.[8]
