Travel Guide - The Fettlers Mess is within a precinct that comprises three houses and their outbuildings. They were built to accommodate track maintenance workers on the North Australian Railway from Pine Creek to Katherine. The Mess building is the oldest, constructed in 1915 (although some reports suggest it is older) and modified sometime between 1946 and 1949. The building is of corrugated iron cladding and sawn timber framing on a concrete slab. It has a corrugated iron stove recess at one end and has large eaves overhangs. Buildings 2 and 3 were constructed c1946-49.... Thank you for visiting Travel Guide
