Are you a local looking for a weekend escape or a visitor who wants to sit back, relax and soak up a true tropical atmosphere?

Batchelor will offer both at the Lingalonga Festival on Saturday September 6.

The normally sleepy hamlet, just one hour south of Darwin, will come alive with the sounds, colour and aromas of true Territory culture.

The Lingalonga Festival will take visitors on a journey through Batchelor’s colourful history where you can enjoy a cultural banquet of the senses and meet some friendly locals –feathered and furry.
