Hi,
I'm in WA and am researching one of my ancestors Philip (Phil) Saunders. He arrived in the Territory during the latter end of 1873 and along with other pioneering NT prospector explorers like Adam Johns and Sandy Grant discovered the Union Reef. He also made various other discoveries in the Territory and led a few exploration expeditions.
I would love to get in contact with a few people interested in the mining history of the NT.
