    [Three women near three small buildings with Chinese writing and flag] [picture] : [Darwin, Northern Territory] / [Frank Hurley], 1910 - 1962, by Hurley, Frank (1885-1962), courtesy of National Library of Australia - Picture collection.

Title
Pine Creek temple
Description

There are two women and one girl standing underneath a flag pole with two trianglar flags hanging from it.

Date
c. 1910
Place
Australia - Northern Territory - Pine Creek
Interpretive description

According to both index lists of photographs for the Kirkbride collection held at the State Library of Victoria this photograph was one of a group of twenty photographs taken taken at Pine Creek. Although other versions of this photograph describe it as Darwin, the Kirkbride collection is believed to be correct. The photographs match descriptions of Pine Creek's Chinese settlement as separate to the white areas and it also does not match known views of Darwin at this time.
