Day 158: Darwin - Timber Creek

We left Darwin and drove straight to Timber Creek, winner of Tidy Town 1996 and home to about 70 people and lots of crocs.

In 1855 the explorer A. C. Gregory's boat was wrecked at Timber Creek. He is said to have named the site Timber Creek after he cut some timber to repair the hole in his vessel. Apparently the tree is still there with the date 'July 2nd 1856' carved in it. We didn't see it so I can't verify that this tree exists.

That is about as interesting as Timber Creek gets.
