Following the Reserve Bank's separation from the Commonwealth Bank in 1960, the task began to establish its presence in each state and territory. The Reserve Bank's Darwin branch opened on 28 March 1968. Designed in the Bank's bold modern style, the building adapted to local conditions with bronze louvres shielding its windows. It survived Cyclone Tracy in 1974, and served a vital role as the emergency coordination and communications centre in the aftermath of the cyclone. The expansion of electronic processing in the 1980s and 1990s increased the efficiency in the Bank's overall operations and reduced the need to maintain a branch in Darwin, which closed on 31 October 1997. The building remains a landmark of Darwin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What secrets are in the Reserve bank building? Between the concrete walls of Darwin's heritage-listed former Reserve Bank building lies a secret room, unseen by human eyes for decades. It's up a flight of stairs and down a dingy corridor, on a level where employees of the current occupant, Tourism Top End, fear to tread. There, at the end of the hall, stands an eternally locked armoured door. Despite the hundreds of keys left behind by bygone bank managers, none have ever managed to throw the door, or this mystery, wide open. What horrors, traps or treasures lie hidden in this long-forgotten corner of the CBD, nobody really knows. Was it home to piles of gold bullion, left by some forgetful teller before the bank's closure in the 1990s? Could it be explosive dossiers from the era when the building was used as a headquarters for the United Nations? Or, as one hardened sceptic suggested, will it hold cobwebbed shelving and a scattering of dead cockroaches? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What was in the room? A pair of locksmiths sweated over the task for more than two hours until the break finally came: they were in. A hive of eager journalists swarmed into the room to be presented with a reality nobody wanted to face — there was nothing much in there, bar a stack of outdated shelves, lightbulb boxes, an old telephone and one dead cockroach. It was the relics of a disused "voucher room", which was used to house archives and stationery, according to Veronica Baldwin, who worked at the Reserve Bank for 22 years until its closure in 1997.
