Description

Looking across the harbour from the Thursday Island township. This was the destination for a small party of Royal Australian Artillery and Royal Australian Engineers, the recently formed Darwin Detachment, on their way to Darwin from Sydney. They dismantled military buildings for future re-erection in Darwin, which was only partially implemented. Pictured are the local pearling lugger fleet at anchor and making way near the tidal swimming pool.
