Pine Creek

The old railway station is considered under the Railway Precinct data sheet.

Pine Creek is the only original mining town remaining in the Top End from the gold rush era of the 1870s, and its National Trust Museum building is the oldest surviving prefabricated structure in the Northern Territory.

This site is characterised by a large number of structural remains and diverse artefact assemblage.

The Fergusson River Bridge and Boiler are a major feature of the local landscape and are significant as remnants of the North Australia Railway (NAR) and for their engineering achievement, particularly in such a remote location.

Remnants of the former North Australia Railway including: a section of the original 1889 railway corridor north to the Stuart Highway; the railway bridge; the railway reservoir, sluice gate and overflow; the ransomes and rapier water column; 25,000 gallon elevated water tank; ash pit; four lane railway yard and turning triangle; and the southern signal tower.

Old Bonrook Station is an example of an early timber framed corrugated galvanised iron building which was common in the Northern Territory from 1897-1937.

The baker's shop and bakery at Pine Creek are of historical and architectural significance as an example of a Top End galvanised iron store typical of the Pine Creek district.

The building, now referred to as the 'repeater station', was originally erected at Burrundie as the Chief Mining Warden's quarters.
