| War Cementery |
Sunday night was our last night in Adelaide River and we enjoyed a lovely meal at the local hotel with Charlie the Buffalo a big hit!
A quick last look to pay our respects at the War Cemetery and we were onto Darwin!! Oh so hot & humid!!
The war cemetery at Adelaide River marks the final resting place of 434 service men & women who lost their lives in the Top End during WWII. There is a memorial to 287 personnel who were lost in Timor and other regions and have no known resting place. There is also a Civil Cemetery where 63 civilians including 9 from the Darwin Post Office who lost their lives on 19 Feb 1942 when bombed. It is an amazing place and meticulously maintained. Such a beautiful spot.
