  1. Elsey Station Homestead

    Outside the Mataranka Homestead Resort entrance is a replica of the Elsey Station Homestead, constructed for the filming of We of the Never Never, which is screened daily at noon in the resort bar. There are a couple of dresses Angela Punch McGregor wore in the film hanging in the old homestead.

    Lyons Cottage

    Just across the road from Bicentennial Park, Lyons Cottage was built in 1925. It was Darwin's first stone residence, formerly housing executives from the British Australian Telegraph Company (which laid a submarine cable between Australia and Java). Now it's a museum displaying Darwin in photos from the early days.
