A most interesting , illustrated post about the 1988 earthquake which hit the centre of Australia has been received which contains a panoramic view of Tennant Creek circa 1958 , the year this blogger first went to the Northern Territory-Darwin- from Sydney. The site - For Tennant Creekers - contains additional items about the mining town , including information about Edna Zigenbine (1926-2007), said to have been the first female boss drover in Australia ; the late Alfie Chittock, mayor of Tennant Creek , who ran a betting shop . The history of the town , compiled by Hilda Tuxworth, mother of former NT politician Ian Tuxworth , is also included and a front page of the old Peko Clarion .
