==History==
During World War 2, and artillery and aerial weapons range was established to the south of the Coomalie Creek Airfield in the area now known as Tortilla Flats.〔Department of Lands, Planning and Environment (Coomalie Planning Concepts and Land Use Objectives ), Northern Territory Government, 2000〕
The Tortilla Flats Research Farm, originally known as the Upper Adelaide River Experiment Station operated from 1958-90〔 when the land was sold off to private owners. Experiments conducted here focussed on rice as a potential export crop, as well as cattle rotation techniques. Estimates based on this research in 1981 found that a land area of 45,000ha in the Adelaide River region was suited to irrigated rice production, and a potential crop yield in excess of 12,000 tonnes could be harvested annually from such activities.〔Airey, D.R. et al (Rice Research and Demonstration Program for the N.T. - A Protocol ), 1981〕
