Adelaide River braces for Anzac influx
THE small community of Adelaide River in the NT will swell to almost 20 times its size as people flock to the Anzac Day dawn service at the war cemetery.
IN the Top End township of Adelaide River, about 130km east of Darwin, hotel rooms for the Anzac centenary weekend have been fully booked for close to two years.
THE community's permanent population of about 220 are bracing themselves for an influx from Darwin on Saturday morning, with around 4000 people expected to drive out in the early hours for the dawn service at the Northern Territory's main military cemetery.
