1956 |February |Darwin High School opens on Bullocky Point—the site of the old Vestey's meatworks.

False. I went to Darwin High School from 1958 to 1960 at Cavanagh St. Vesty's was abandoned, but no redevelopment had been done.

1958| |Vestey's meatworks demolished.

Not sure this is true either. The site was derelict when I and a friend from Fannie Bay went there hunting bats in (I think) 1961. There were large concrete building there in very bad condition, and at the sea end, a large concrete dam full of water, which we didn't test.
