Thirty five hectares of very old rain forest, close to Litchfiield National Park. The property is ten minutes from Batchelor township, and little over an hour's drive to Darwin on a sealed road. The school bus drives past the main entrance. The Community Health Center is ten minutes drive away. The bitumen stops outside our main entrance.

All but the home paddock is covered in tropical rain forest and other native trees. The tropical rain forest pre-dates the eucalypts, and is a remnant of an era when the Top End was mainly wetlands. The property is one of the few remaining examples of tropical rain forest in private hands. A tributary of the Little Finnis River runs through the valley, and there is a deep spring fed billabong that has never run dry. The rain forest supports native birds, possums, wallabies, lizards and the occasional fresh water croc.

There is a mango orchard of around sixty trees, which provides a small income. The mangoes are allowed to ripen on the trees, and are sold dehydrated or frozen. Other fruit trees have been planted close to the bush shack built near to the main road. The shack has a bathroom, kitchen, and a bedroom with an air conditioner.

The property is suitable for development as an eco- tourist site, and it is well placed to take advantage of the tourists who visit Litchfield National Park. It is not suitable for sub-division.
