Parap

Inner suburb of the city of Darwin in Australia: 

Parap is an inner suburb of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. Parap derived its name from that applied by Dr John A Gilruth, first Commonwealth Administrator in 1912.

He applied the name Paraparap (believed to have been a pastoral property of Dewing near Moriac, Geelong), but had to abbreviate it to Parap later during his term.

Parap was also the staging point to the event known as the Darwin Rebellion, on 17 December 1918, in protest against Gilruth's administration.

Parap became well known as the 2½ Mile in subsequent years, being near the Railway Workshop when the train ran in pre-World War II years.

Parap is a predominantly residential suburb and is usually associated with its sister suburb, Fannie Bay and the adjacent inner suburbs of Ludmilla and Stuart Park.
