Bombing Of Darwin 72nd Anniversary, Northern Territory Australia 2014
On 19 February 1942 at 9.58 am Japanese bombers began to arrive over Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia in the first of two attacks. This first attack lasted approximately 40 minutes and bombs were dropped on the Allied warships and merchant vessels in Darwin Harbour, the RAAF Base and civilian airfield outside of town, along with the Army Barracks and oil store. The second attack at about midday again concentrated the bombing on the RAAF Base.
It is estimated that approximately 683 bombs were dropped on Darwin over the two attacks. Between 250-320 people were killed and another 300-400 were wounded. In Darwin Harbour 10 ships were sunk and another 25 ships were damaged while at the airfields 23 aircraft were destroyed. Most of the military and civil facilities in the town were also destroyed. Between 4 March 1942 and 12 November 1943 there were 62 more bombing raids in the Northern Territory and parts of Western Australia.
Helping Darwin -- NSW Government and the Northern Territory, 1940-42
Early in World War II Darwin was considered an ideal location for an Allied base from which troops could be deployed to defend the Dutch East Indies (modern-day Indonesia) from the expected Japanese forces. A major problem though, was the isolation of Darwin. This meant that the town relied heavily on the sea for the transport of both goods and men for labour. From mid-1940 roads, bridges, airfields and other infrastructure in the Northern Territory were built for the Commonwealth Government by various state governments, including NSW. In particular, NSW helped to establish the Darwin Fire Brigade late in 1941. From:

Darwin, the tropical capital city of Australia's Northern Territory
Darwin, a small yet cosmopolitan city, is the tropical capital city of the Northern Territory. People from more than 50 nations make up its population of 110,000. It is located on the Northern Territory coast, with the Timor Sea to the west, and the Arafura Sea to the north in Indonesian waters.
Darwin has a relaxed lifestyle and unique multiculturalism, where people from over 50 different cultures live and work side by side. The regular Asian-style markets form an intrinsic part of the everyday Darwin landscape, for local residents see food, music, language, and culture from just about every Asian nation, alongside crocodile hunters, local Aboriginal artists, musicians of every genre, sports fishing operators, sunset sails, and families with children playing on the beach. Darwin's unique cosmopolitan makeup has been recognised as an multicultural icon of national significance by the Australian National Trust.
Darwin was first named in 1839 by John Lort Stokes during the third voyage of the Beagle. It was named after his former shipmate and famous naturalist Charles Darwin. Darwin's development was accelerated by the discovery of gold at Pine Creek, about 200 km south of the city in 1871. After the gold rush Darwin's growth slowed mainly due to the harsh, tropical climate, distance and poor communications with other Australian cities. The Second World War put Darwin back on the map when the town became an important base for Allied action against the Japanese in the Pacific. The road south to the railhead at Alice Springs was surfaced, putting the city in direct contact with the rest of the country.
Modern Darwin is one of Australia's most cosmopolitan cities, more open to Asia than perhaps any other Australian city. It plays an important role as the door to Australia's northern region. Natural wonders such as Kakadu, Katherine Gorge, and Litchfield are all within driving distance from the city and still contain near pre-colonial populations of crocodiles, goannas, snakes and wallabies. Today Darwin is a fast growing regional centre that has unique history, culture and adventure.
Darwin's tropical climate has two major seasons: the 'dry', from about May to October, and the 'wet', from November to April. There is also the 'build up', the time from the end of the dry, leading into the wet when the humidity rises, but the rain doesn't fall. The arrival of the wet is always a welcome break from the buildup.
Darwin is also the only Australian capital city to have come under substantial attack during a war. On 19 February 1942, Japanese planes made two major air raids on Darwin from the aircraft carrier fleet that had attacked Pearl Harbor less than 3 months earlier. These were the first of 64 air attacks sustained by the city during World War II, the last being on 12 November 1943.
