1:32:17Now PlayingThe bombing of Darwin Ceremony, 2021, marking 79 years since the largest single attack ever mounted by a foreign power on Australian soil.
In World War II, on February 19, 1942, Japanese fighters and bombers attacked Darwin.
Bombs rained down on the town, on nearby airfields and ships in the port, killing more than 230 allied service personnel and civilians, and wounding more than 300 people.
More bombs were dropped on Darwin in this attack than on Pearl Harbour in Japan’s surprise military strike against the US just six weeks earlier.
