Summary

Police Station at Anthony Lagoon. Anthony Lagoon is a cattle station on the Barkly Tableland and is south east of Darwin. A police station was established here in 1895 to keep watch over the cattle passing through the area and to prevent stolen stock crossing the border between Queensland and the Northern Territory. The police station was submerged in the rising floods in 1891. The photograph shows three buildings with adjacent stock yards. The police work was notoriously boring.
