<<< The photo
on the left shows parking along side the road at Adelaide
River for lunch. Adelaide River, being about halfway
between Southport and Pine Creek, became a popular camping
spot and so, in 1873, an enterprising man named Dougherty
opened up an eating place. He constructed a rough building
out of logs and bark. A short time later H. S. Finlay
opened the settlement's first hotel which he called
the QCE Hotel meaning 'Quiet, Comfort and Ease'. In
1879 a police camp was built at the river crossing.

season Adelaide River also refers to the river itself
which flows north and reaches the Timor Sea approximately
50 km northeast of Darwin. The river was explored by
John McDouall Stuart in 1862, became the site of early
settlements at Escape Cliffs and Port Daly, and in recent
times was the location for the CSIRO's experiment in
rice growing at Humpty Doo hich was later aborted. It
is now on the proerty of Adelaide
