Leper Station
Leper Station on Mud Island Lazarette, about 6 miles from Port Darwin, across the harbour near mouth of Blackmore River. The Government admitted that the site was unsuitable and a new location was sought. A medical officer made a weekly visit to treat the patients and an Aboriginal inmate provided treatment to fellow patients (mainly Chinese) when needed. They were given rations, fishing lines and a shotgun. It was a common allegation at the time that the patients were left unattended and uncared for. Dr W Ramsey Smith's report on the Northern Territory states " The Leper Station at Port Darwin is unsuitable for any being of the human species". This leprosarium was closed in 1931 when the new Channel Island Leprosarium was opened.
