155 - Adelaide River Mt. Bundy Station

The bride under the Banya Tree at Mt. Bundy Station

So here we again. Out of Katherine and heading for our next stop Mt. Bundy Station at Adelaide River. Now what I have seen in most of these NT towns from Three Ways, is an abundance of "locals" aimlessly wandering the streets, in various groups under trees, with housing looking like a demolition site. I figured Adelaide River would be much the same.

But surprise, surprise. What a great little town. Yeah I have to call it little, as if you blink you would miss it. But it's claim to fame is the war cemetery, the Adelaide River Inn and rail museum. However "Georgy GPS" sent us down the road before the actual town ship to Mt. Bundy Station. Why Mt. Bundy Station. Well Camps 5 gave it a big tick, and when considering my poor judgement with places to stay, I figured I couldn't go to wrong with this.

Very emotional time at the war graves

So with much apprehension and about 3kms off the main highway we were greeted at Mt. Bundy Station. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!was the cry from the drivers seat.......we have finally hit a good one. Now those who haven't been to Mt. Bundy Station it is actually a working cattle farm and horse stud. Geartic Gypsies like us are given sites, here there and everywhere, amongst the trees and what a great atmosphere.

Adelaide River Inn....great pub.

Two nights was the cry at reception. We settled in and met the cows, dogs, water Buffalo's and horses. Our hosts were Sue and Scott (owners) lovely, lovely people, and the Caretakers, magic people Liz and Trevor.
