Pine Creek is situated 220 km south of b and 90km north of Katherine at the junction of the Stuart and Kakadu Highways in the Top End of Australia's Northern Territory. The town was established in the late 1800's as a result of the discovery of gold by the crew of the Overland Telegraph Line. Pine Creek still relies on mining for its survival, with the majority of the population involved in mining or related industries. Tourism has recently become an important part of the town's economy as facilities for travelers have improved.

The dry season lasts from April to September, with clear, sunny skies and temperatures in the mid twenties every day.

The Bakery is nothing more than an old and very unassuming tin shed that seems to capture exactly what life must have been like in Pine Creek around the turn of the century. It was built in 1908 as Jimmy Ah You's Butcher's Shop at Mount Diamond. When he moved to Pine Creek he took the shop front with him and rebuilt it using local timber. To bake bread he carried ant bed mortar from the bush to make the ovens which are still standing out the back. Jimmy Ah You and son Jimmy Ah Toy baked bread in the ovens until World War II. During the war the Army took it over as a bakery for troops. After 1945 bread came from large suppliers and Pine Creek's bakery became unnecessary.
