Photogallery of pictures taken during journeys to Pine Creek (Australia, Northern Territory).
Pine Creek is a small town in the Katherine region of the Northern Territory, Australia. According to the 2007 Australian census 473 people live in Pine Creek, which is the fourth largest town between Darwin and Alice Springs.
During construction of the Overland Telegraph line from Adelaide to Darwin in 1870, workers first crossed a creek that was notable for the pine trees that grew on its banks. In 1871 workers digging holes for the telegraph line found gold in the soil, triggering another Australian gold rush in the Pine Creek surroundings.
Pine Creek is just off the Stuart Highway (the road from the south to Darwin) and is still a notable tourist stop.
