After a big 8 hour drive from Florence Falls yesterday, we needed a relax day, and the Timber Creek Hotel Caravan Park was just the right place for it. Timber Creek is a remote, small town a couple of hours from the border of WA. It is situated on the banks of the Victoria River. There are boab trees dotted around the landscape.
Theres a lot of police history in the area, dating back to when pastoralists were warring with local Aborigines over land and cattle, and thus the need for a police station in Timber Creek was established. The historic police station is a fun attraction on the Heritage Trail.
Further on from the historic police station, you can drive down a 2km corrugated road and come to Policeman’s Point, a quiet spot along the Victoria River where you can fish. We didnt- it was way too hot.
Instead we drove to the Nackeroo Monument and Lookout, which is a memorial dedicated to the Northern Australian Observation Unit and the Aboriginal volunteers who worked to provide warning of a possible Japanese invasion.
