A short history with images of the South Australian Government’s attempts to establish a town and surveyed allotments for investors who had purchased land. Detailed is the Goyder Survey Expedition that successfully surveyed the site of Palmerston (to become Darwin) and the surrounding rural areas.
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.
