Geographical Location
Palmerston, a satellite town 20 km outside the Darwin, is one of
Australia’s fastest growing residential areas. It services a wide rural
area including the smaller settlements of Humpty Doo, Bees Creek,
Howard Springs, Noonamah, Berry Springs, and Darwin River, and the vast
system of rivers and wetlands that surround them. These provide havens
for wildlife in Darwin's developing rural fringe and have international
significance because of their beauty, natural systems and importance to
Aboriginal people. The Limilngan Wulna ‘freshwater’ Aboriginal people
have made the Mary River region and the Adelaide River catchment their
home for thousands of years, and continue to live, hunt and practise
their traditional culture here.
