Batchelor Airfield and Anti-Aircraft Battery

The Batchelor Airfield played a key role during World War II, used by both Australian and allied forces.

Located just south of Darwin, the airfield supported heavy bomber operations and served as a vital logistics and refuelling hub during the Pacific campaign.

Nearby, you'll also find remnants of an anti-aircraft battery, once part of a broader defence system designed to protect the airfield and surrounding region from Japanese air raids.

Today, visitors can explore the site and get a sense of the strategic importance Batchelor held during the war.
