| History/Origin |
A mining town of some 316 lots was surveyed by the S A Government and Gazetted on 30 October 1884 as the second town of the Territory after Palmerston (Darwin). It was centred on a railway reserve on the line between Palmerston (Darwin) and Pine Creek some 12 miles to the south. The Overland Telegraph Line staff were based there, as was a police station, a circuit court and a hospital. This town survived until the turn of the century when mining development waned. Some 25 remnant freehold titles have survived and provide a land tenure record to those who held land at Burrundie. |
