| History/Origin | Although the name Micket Creek in various spelling forms has appeared on maps and plans since 1869 when Port Darwin and environs was surveyed by members of the Goyder expedition, the origin of the name is unknown. As the name appears on the same plan as Leanyer and Marrara Swamps, the posibility of the name being of Aboriginal Origin can not be discounted. More recently the Micket Creek Shooting Complex has been built in the locality, bringing various shooting clubs into the one complex. |
