Overview

Set on the banks of the Victoria River, Timber Creek is the only sizable settlement between the Western Australia border and Katherine, about 600 km south of Darwin. With 278 residents recorded in the 2021 census, the town blends a relaxed outback lifestyle with easy access to scenic escarpments, boab trees and nearby Judbarra National Park, where fishing, camping and four‑wheel‑drive adventures are popular.

The Victoria Highway runs through Timber Creek, linking it to the Darwin–Broome coach route and providing an airstrip for aircraft. Residents enjoy a small but complete services hub: a public school, a health centre, the timber‑heritage police museum, and the Timber Creek Travellers Rest roadhouse that includes a general store, petrol, caravan park and holiday cabins. Aboriginal‑owned Wirib Tourism Park adds further camping and cabin options, creating a mix of permanent homes and accommodation for locals and army personnel stationed at the adjacent Bradshaw Field Training Area.
