Wednesday 14th May - Timber Creek Police Museum

Today we went to have a look around and ended up at the Timber Creek Police Museum, very informative guide and worth the effort to have a look. Below is a little information from the internet, the guide had a lot more.

Timber Creek

Old Police Station Precinct

There are two buildings on within the Police Station Precinct. The first is a 1908 building, which houses a collection of items from the early days in the Victoria River District.
The second is an elevated house constructed in 1935. The 1908 building is open to the public seasonally for a couple of hours a day.
Both buildings provide a rare glimpse into a way of life for early police in the Northern Territory.
The Precinct includes outbuildings, graves and police paddocks.

Visit the Timber Creek Police Station Precinct and catch a rare glimpse of the life of early police in the Northern Territory. Built in 1908 and used as the district police station until the late 1930s, the Timber Creek Police Station Museum is a steel framed structure with galvanised iron cladding and timber shutters. The building was restored in 1987-1988 and is one of the few buildings still standing that reveals early Northern Territory police station architecture and construction.
The building, now on the National Trust Heritage list, is home to a small museum that houses a collection of items from the early days in the Victoria River District.
The precinct includes an elevated house constructed in 1935, outbuildings, graves and police paddocks. The 1908 building is open to the public seasonally for a couple of hours a day.
