Overview
Acacia Hills is an outer rural locality of Darwin. It is 60 kilometres (37 mi) south of the Darwin CBD in Litchfield Municipality. Named for the acacia shrub that is endemic to the area, the suburb is largely rural land, just north of Manton Dam and west of the Adelaide River. Mango farming is an important local industry. Both the Stuart Highway and Adelaide–Darwin rail corridor pass through the area.
