forgotten territory

(2016-2019)

Forgotten Territory was a weekly column of historic photos in the Northern Territory News which I curated from 2016 until 2019 supported by the collections of the Northern Territory Library, Northern Territory Archives Service, State Library of South Australia as well as other major collections and Facebook groups from around Australia. Click on the images to read the story behind the image.

It’s back to the classroom for Territory kids this week. And it would have been pretty tricky to wag a day or two if you were in this class. Luckily they look like a pretty committed bunch. This was the full enrolment for Year 5 in Tennant Creek in 1954 under the care of headmaster Mr Ashenden. Facebook sleuths managed to identify all the students (now in their seventies!) as: Katherine MacLean, Ann-Marie Stokes, Heather Campbell, Dean Pilgrim, Bonnie Hunter, Clare Harris and Elizabeth Wade.
