Default Darwin bombing 83 years ago today

101 year old veteran recounts the bombing. The anniversary didn't rate much time in the media today. I did spot a CMP truck in the museum.

My father witnessed this first attack, he was onboard HMAS Platypus , moored in Darwin harbour.

Brian Winspear has vivid memories of the terror that unfolded in Darwin during World War II.
