Rabbit Flat, Northern Territory

[3] An arrangement had been agreed between the Farrands and Ansett-Pioneer Coaches to provide overnight tent accommodation for a tourist route between Alice Springs and Darwin via Wave Hill, now known as Kalkarindji.

The location was chosen because of the availability of water at the Rabbit Flat well, on the stock route from Alice Springs to Halls Creek.

Mother Jackie and the babies were flown to Alice Springs hospital by the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia for observation, because the boys were six weeks premature.

On arrival in Alice Springs, the pilot of the RFDS aircraft was reported to have quipped that "the population of Rabbit Flat doubled last night".

[5] A documentary film about Rabbit Flat was produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for its television series A Big Country.
