Pirlangimpi ( formerly Garden Point ) is an Indigenous community on the north coast of the Tiwi Islands ( and 130klm north of Darwin )
The town itself is sited close to a failed settlement attempt by colonial Britain in the 1820's ( Fort Dundas ).
Just prior to WW2 a Catholic Mission was established at Garden Point to house and school 'half-cast children'. These kids were evacuated from the mission after the first Jap air raids on Darwin in 1942. The Mission closed in 1968.
