Adelaide River War Cemetery

Adelaide River War Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery on the Stuart Highway at Adelaide River in Coomalie Shire, Northern Territory, about 114 kilometres south of Darwin. Established in 1942 to serve the large wartime military hospital and base area, it contains 434 burials including 63 civilians killed in the Bombing of Darwin. Set in manicured lawns with white headstones, Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance, it is a formally maintained memorial to northern Australia's Second World War service personnel.

Visitors can expect a tranquil, formally landscaped cemetery with rows of white headstones on manicured lawns, a Cross of Sacrifice and Stone of Remembrance, and shaded shelter with visitor register and information panels. The site is open and quiet, set beside the Stuart Highway with tropical trees and well-maintained gardens. Visitors can walk along paved paths between plots, read headstone inscriptions and interpretive signage, and pay respects in a reflective, park-like environment.
