Summary

View of Burrundie township, a railway line between Port Darwin and Pine Creek. It was approximately 140 kilometres south east of Darwin. On the back of the photograph is the following: " In the early days of mining in the Territory Burrundie was the centre of operations for many years and was a busy township, boasting a government hospital, two stores, a Warden's residence and a court house. Those buildings, with others, were removed to Pine Creek which was for many years the railway terminus and superseded Burrundie as the mining centre". This photograph taken in approximately 1890s shows many buildings, railway signals, water tanks on stilts for the trains nestled in bushland with hills in the background.
