The book focuses on events, buildings and town plans that contributed to the history of Fannie Bay. It covers the first buildings in the area which includes the railway, Vesty’s meatworks, and housing. The book records the landing of the first flight from England to Australia in 1919, and the enormous impact that World War Two and Cyclone Tracy had on the suburb.
The Historical Society of the Northern Territory acknowledges the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which History House stands, and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, sea, and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
