Stokes Hill Wharf

The railway connecting Palmerston, the previous name for Darwin, to Pine Creek ran onto the wharf.

The cyclone of 1897 and being eaten away by teredo navalis, a salt water clam also known as the naval shipworm, eventually caused the jetty to collapse that year.

In 1922, a rail track along the bridge section was replaced by a cattle race to facilitate live exports.

This wharf was damaged in the first Japanese bombing raid on the 19 February 1942 and part of the bridge section was destroyed.
