Am intending to self publish a book on Tasmania's Ghost Towns and Settlements and am seeking images [or information]of this town or part thereof.
Darwin existed around 1900 but declined rapidly after 1903 when the two major Mt Lyell companies merged.
I believe the Post Office opened 1900 and closed 1903. It also had a railway station.
Darwin was located near the railway line which ran from Gormanston to Pillinger. It was south of Gormanston near another town Crotty.
Darwin houses the workers who provided timber and flux for the Mt Lyell smelters.
