About
Darwin's Wharf has had a colourful, busy and sometimes tragic history. Its beginnings reflect the times and the uncertainty surrounding the future of the township in the late 1800's. The ethnic population also has its beginnings linked to the Wharf. From 1884 the pearling industry was based in Frances Bay and, like the gold rush 10 years before, encouraged more Asian immigration to Darwin.
