This settlement was the shortest British establishment on the northern Australian coast (1827-29), and one of the most challenging in matching its original site plan with archaeological remains. This was achieved only recently by historians and archaeologists. This book covers the history of British settlement in the Northern Territory, past expeditions to the site and recent discoveries.
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.
