[1] The current Dean of Christ Church Cathedral, Darwin, is the Very Reverend Rob Llewellyn, who was installed on 16 October 2020.

[3] He first visited Palmerston and the Northern Territory in February 1901 and in that year "a committee was set up to purchase a block of land for a church".

[5] The recorded transfer to White was registered on 11 November 1903, but "due to delays in solicitor's offices, government departments etc.

"[5] and consideration of the church finishing its construction in October 1902, it is more likely that the land was purchased in this year, and "Bishop White consecrated the building on 2 November 1902.

[5] Lot 551 ended up being sold when the Northern Territory fell into recession, leaving the parish with "no money to put up a building.

Two brass plaques made in commemoration of two parishioners who were killed in action in the First World War were recovered and are currently “mounted in the porch”[3] of the original church.

There is a time capsule placed in the narthex of the cathedral, prepared by “local historian and long-time church warden, Peter Spillett”,[3] who had also “recovered the pieces of the rector’s chair for reconstruction.”[3] The present-day cathedral was built on the site of the original between 1975 and 1976, with the surviving porch remaining in front of the church, and “On Sunday 13 March 1977 in the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury Christ Church Cathedral was consecrated.”[3] The new cathedral was visited by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh a few weeks later, with the Queen's signature “recorded in a special visitors’ book commemorating the consecration and the royal visit.”[3] Darwin artist George Chaloupka (1932-2011) was commissioned to design the Cyclone Tracy Memorial Window.

[9] The colours and black curved lines represent “fishing nets and the upsurge of waves during a cyclone.”[9] The Dalle de Verre window was done in commemoration of the fishermen who lost their lives when Cyclone Tracy struck and “was financed by a Gollin Kyokuyo Trust fund”.

[10] Gollin Kyokuyo “was a joint fishing venture operating out of Darwin at the time of Cyclone Tracy”[11] and seven fishermen were killed.
