Millsy's first day in the NT saw him chat to one of the town's characters – Bazza, the curator at the Timber Creek Police Station Museum.

Bazza considers himself more of a stuffed exhibit than a museum curator but, as Millsy was quick to discover, he's a font of knowledge on Timber Creek.

"I have some friends up and they say why do you talk about the negative all the time, and I said well I can't talk about the positive cos it wasn't the truth," Bazza said about Timber Creek's history and treatment of Indigenous people in the town.

Bazza predicted big things for Timber Creek in coming years, with millions of dollars being spent by the Australian Army on its Bradshaw Field Training Facility.

"Timber Creek is going to be very big in the next five to 10 years," he said.
