Description of Attack Creek Rest Area
The
Attack Creek Historical Reserve is a
memorial to the explorer John McDouall Stuart. The creek is the point from which Stuart turned back from his 1860 expedition to cross the continent, after an encounter with hostile Warumunga Aboriginal people.
The
Northern Territory Police Museum & Historical Society organised the unveiling of a commemorative
plaque by Commissioner Paul White on Saturday, 8 November 2003.
This event is took place at the roadside stop at
Attack Creek, 72 kilometres north of
Tennant Creek at 10am. Wreaths were laid, the Police Chaplain blessed the site and the
plaque was unveiled.
Representatives from the NT Government, Opposition,
Tennant Creek Council, NT Police Association, Retired Police Association of the
Northern Territory and the NT Police Museum & Historical Society layed wreaths at the event.
Members of the public were invited to attend this event.
The reason behind the unveiling of the
plaque is detailed below.
The truth will probably never be known. Two different versions of events have evolved as to why a Mounted Constable, five European males and two Aboriginal Trackers conducted a searched north of
Tennant Creek. Only two returned.
