The 1840s military settlement of Victoria was established at Port Essington, the northernmost part of the Northern Territory, and served as the endpoint of Ludwig Leichhardt's epic journey in 1844-45.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis settlement was the longest-lived of three failed attempts by the British to establish a settlement on the northern coast of Australia before 1850.
