History:
Wycliffe
Well began as a watering point along the stock route for the
Overland Telegraph Line in the 1860s. World War II saw Wycliffe
Well become a market garden centre to service troops, and at the end of the war, two soldiers stayed on to continue selling vegetables and garden products to
Alice Springs. In 1960, a petrol pump was installed in Wycliffe
Well.
Nowadays the facilities here encompass a roadhouse, motel, caravan park and an array of whimsical Australiana & alien themed installations. Leu Farkas has spent almost 3 million dollars renovating and expanding Wycliffe
Well to make it much more than just a roadhouse, more like a family leisure park. For instance; there is the
Barramundi pond, a train track complete with a train that resembles Puffing Billy, a
lookout tower for spotting UFOs, an Incredible Hulk style letter box which won the Burke's Backyard letter box competition, the Phantom to show you the way to the
toilet and an open air auditorium designed to fit 300 people. There are kangaroos, emus, peacocks, murals on every wall you can see, over 30 caravan sites, furnished rooms and a lake which when finished will be used for canoeing and boating and of course, the UFO sightings. Wycliffe
Well is known as the UFO capital of the NT.
Wycliffe
Well is essentially made up of Wycliffe
Well Holiday Park out the back and the Roadhouse (with pub boasting the largest range of beer in the NT, and
United fuel) at the front.
