The Shed

The Shed sits behind the Lazy Lizard Tavern & Caravan Park in Pine Creek, a gold-rush town of a few hundred people on the Stuart Highway between Katherine and Darwin. It opened in July 2024 when local collector Graeme Wilcox decided 15 to 20 years of accumulated vehicles deserved an audience: his stated aim was to share the machines and give Pine Creek an attraction of its own.

Inside is a Territory-style spread of old vehicles, motorcycles, number plates and motoring memorabilia, pitched by NT Tourism as running "from Harley to Holden." It is an informal, personal display rather than a curated museum, and that is the appeal: this is what a lifetime of outback collecting actually looks like, all in one place for the first time.

Entry is $5, and every dollar is donated to the Melanoma Institute Australia. Time it with a meal or an overnight stop at the Lazy Lizard, the classic pub-and-caravan-park combination that anchors the town.
