The Iwaidja woman, her belly opened by a bayonet, slipped below the dark water. Her 6-year-old daughter, Reveral, watched in terror. Her baby sister was already dead, hit by a slug in the first volley or drowned, but a young man lying on the sand with his intestines spilling out had to be finished off - out of mercy!

Darwin: End of an Era - 1900-1910

by Derek Pugh ...

What does it mean to live in a place no one else believed in? Then known as Palmerston, Darwin at the dawn of the 20th century was a remote and volatile frontier town considered a white elephant by its distant government. Cyclones raged, supplies were scarce, and the promised railway never came. But despite the struggles, many Territorians chose to stay, clinging to the boundless possibilities ... Read more

Port Essington

The British in North Australia 1838-49

by Derek Pugh ...

For many of the Royal Marines sent to Port Essington, life was a living hell of malaria, scurvy, termites, shipwrecks, cyclones, boredom, isolation and death. For one man, it was the 'most useless, ill-managed hold in Her Majesty's dominions' which deserved 'all the abuse that has ever been heaped upon it'.But it wasn't always so: in the beginning, French visitors shared their best Bordeaux wines ...
