In Australia's largest garrison city, little-known ANZAC tales are still being uncovered. The wrecks of two Catalina flying boats rusting on the shores of Palm Island are the only remnants of how a tiny Aboriginal community off the coast of Townsville played a "critical" role in defending Australia from world war attack.
From dramatic plane rescues, mapping the floor of the Great Barrier Reef and starting a fierce sporting rivalry, the people of Palm Island have stories to tell of just how close war came to Australian shores.
