Livingstone is an outer rural locality near Darwin. The name "Livingstone" derived from the war-time airstrip which was named after John D Livingstone, Jnr.[5] 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.[5] He was buried at "The Gardens Cemetery".[5] The 34 Mile strip was named Livingstone in his honour.[5] Livingstone has a rural recreation reserve managed by a community management committee and provides a Friday night 34 mile bar and bistro frequented by locals and visitors.
