Guidebook for Batchelor - gateway to Litchfield National Park

BATCHELOR HERITAGE TRAIL Walk (or drive) . There are interpretive signs through and around the town providing information about this little town's rich history as Australia's first Uranium mine, the horticultural food trials undertaken on the excellent soil around here and early history from pioneer days. You'll find a brochure containing the trail map on the brochure stand near the front entrance of LTR. BATCHELOR MUSEUM A wonderful collection ... especially for those interested in the Top End's place in defending Australia during WW11. ADELAIDE RIVER TOWNSHIP / PUB Close by is the township of Adelaide River... home to Charlie the Buffalo of "Crocodile Dundee" movie fame who stands on the 101 Bar in the Adelaide River Pub. A favourite with locals and travellers alike - a really chilled-out waterhole offering cold drinks and good tucker (food) in a lovely garden setting. ADELAIDE RIVER WAR MEMORIAL Of significance is the Adelaide River War Memorial - honouring those who saved our country from invasion by the Japanese in the 'Bombing of Darwin' (which was really the invasion of Australia); WW1 and WW11. A beautiful, well-kept garden cemetery - well worth a visit.

Referred to as the 'flashest pub in the scrub'... they are a fuel station, full service bar and have good meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
