Adelaide River.

Next at Adelaide River War Cemetery & Civil Cemetery, this is the final resting place for 434 Australia, British & Canadian service men & women who lost their lives in the top end during WWII. This was a very sad place as they were all so young, most of them only 19 & 20 years old.
We moved on to the Adelaide River railway Heritage Precinct-this is a must see and you need a few hours here, so much history starting from 1888, with the construction of Palmerston to Pine Creek railway, Adelaide River had the tea rooms and the largest bridge (500ft) in length.  During WWII Adelaide River was a major supply base and had a large military presence.

Onto Litchfield National Park and we camped at Buley Rockhole. We headed out to the 4WD track to The Lost City, a very pleasant drive, very scenic and the Lost City was a larger area than expected and well worth the trip and you can imagine people did live here?
