Bombing of Darwin, 1942 (Trailer for the Defence of Darwin Experience)
It's mid-morning on the 19th February 1942 and Private Noel Crocker is looking forward to a lie-down after guard duty on the oil tanks beside Darwin Harbour. Herb Kriloff, junior officer on the USS William B Preston is in the code room, where his fellow officers are kidding him about his coding skills. Also down at the harbor is Private Gordon Ellis, unloading drums of petrol on the wharf. Corporal Walter Dahl is taking his men to do the washing, wireless air gunner Brian Winspear is at the RAAF Base, and citizen Thomas Cheong about to make a cup of tea when Japanese bombers fill the skies.

Darwin City Video Guide | Expedia
Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory, in the “top end” of Australia.
Traditionally the home of the Larrakia People, Darwin was settled by Europeans in 1869. The city’s isolation has meant that its population has always been low, which is just the way its laid-back residents like it.
On Thursdays and Sundays, locals and visitors head to the Mindil Beach Markets to shop, dance and enjoy foods from all over the world. At sunset, head down to the beach as the sun dips into the Arafura Sea, then catch a movie under the stars at the Deck Chair Cinema.
Learn about the city’s military history, at the Defense of Darwin Experience and the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre. At the Darwin Museum and Art Gallery, discover the region’s local cultures and unique natural environment.
To experience the Northern Territory’s most fearsome residents, pay a visit to Crocodylus Park and Crocosaurus Cove, home to some of the largest captive saltwater crocodiles on the planet.
There are over 20 national parks in the Darwin region, including popular Litchfield National Park. Just an hour and a half from Darwin, Litchfield is set around a sandstone plateau, crisscrossed by deep, narrow gorges filled with monsoon forests, waterfalls and croc-free swimming holes.
Kakadu National Park is a three-hour drive from Darwin. Half the size of Switzerland and home to one-third of Australia’s bird species and some of the world’s oldest rock art, Kakadu is more than a national park, it’s a national treasure.
