Tennant Creek


This headstone data comes from the town of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. The cemetery itself is located on the main road on the Alice - Katherine highway, about 2 km on the southern approach to the township itself.

The data listed includes all desipherable names in this sprawling, scrubby area of red soil. Nemes shown reflect the intense involvement of the town with the mines in the area. There appear to be few pastoralists interred there, a fact which may indicate each station has its own plot, for the farming properties in the Territory are truly enormous.
