Historical Outpost

Our 'Historical Tour' provides in depth insights into the operation and happenings of the 'Restore and Service Unit' (4RSU) stationed at Pell Mell.

The tour is enhanced by recounting stories from the actual happenings within the unit. This is enabled by reference to Walter Venn’s book, "Restore to Service”.
Walter was with the unit for the whole of its time in the NT and return south, and visited Pell in 2000.

You will visit various sites pictured in the book and be able to relate easily to the circumstances of the men who lived here.
