Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve provides a haven for local wildlife amongst Outer Darwin. The Reserve is 52 km east of Darwin along the Arnhem Highway.
In 1954, after further considerable CSIRO experimentation, a joint Australia-US company, Territory Rice Ltd was established with plans to irrigate the Adelaide River plain and produce rice commercially. With 303 000 hectares of leased land on the floodplain rice fields were built but buffalo, native rats, magpie geese and other birdlife invaded and these problems combined with a lack of established markets saw the fields abandoned by 1959, forfeited to government in 1962 and ‘reinvented’ as a bird and wildlife sanctuary shortly after.
