Mount Fitch, Northern Territory
- Mount Fitch, Northern Territory
Mount Fitch is a former uranium mining site located in the Northern Territory of Australia 56 kilometres SSE from the centre of Darwin and 13.4 kilometres NE from the town of Batchelor.
It is an ecologically sensitive area due to its very close proximity (1600 metres) to the catchment area of Darwin River, the river that is the source of Darwin's drinking water supply, Darwin River Dam.
Mount Fitch is located alongside the old Northern Railway corridor that ran from Pine Creek to Darwin.
