Pine Creek

Pine Creek is situated 220km south of Darwin and 90 km north of Katherine at the junction of the Stuart and Kakadu Highways in the Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory.

The town was established in the late 1800’s as a result of the discovery of gold by the crew of the Overland Telegraph Line.

Pine Creek still relies on mining for its survival with the majority of the population involved in mining or related industries.  Tourism has recently become an important part of the town’s economy as facilities for travelers have improved.

Pine Creek is part of the Victoria Daly Shire Council and has a population of around 450, which includes surrounding stations and Kybrook Farm, an Aboriginal community of around 80 people from various tribal groups.
