The Batchelor area is steeped in history from early Chinese market gardens use as a base during the Second World War and pastoral and mining industries. There are old wartime campsites and airstrips where many people from allied countries served during the Second World War. Tropical fruit orchards aviation government services and the businesses relating to tourism provide employment in the area. Parks and Wildlife office associated with Litchfield National Park is headquartered in Batchelor. Batchelor Institute is a multi-purpose college originally established as a Teacher Education College for Aborigines. Since 1985 the Institute has diversified to include additional accredited programs. Students are adults of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island descent from throughout Australia. You can visit the Coomalie Cultural Center and see student*s art and craft. It all began in the mid 1970*s when the Resort*s host was flying over Litchfield Park in his capacity as an aerial photographer. Through his photographic work and their four-wheel excursions into the area Bob and Robin Davis became aware of the splendid tourist attractions that would become increasingly accessible from the town of Batchelor over the next thirty years when the *opportunity* arose to carve a tourist caravan park from virgin scrub. |
