On the 19th of February 1942 an event occurred which changed Australia forever; World War II was brought to the shores of Australia when Darwin was bombed by enemy forces. It was a defining moment in Australia's history and the stories of courage typified by the tenacity of those living in Darwin are a testament to the Australian spirit in all of us.

2012 marks the 70th Anniversary of this historic event. Between the 11th and 26th of February 2012, a two week program of events and activities will take place in Darwin including a commemorative service with a re-enactment of the first bombing raid, a black tie Gala Ball, a one-off commemorative football match, talks and displays at the Darwin City Council libraries, theatrical and arts activities and performances, a war themed movie festival, and more.

For those unable to be in Darwin for the anniversary day, a NEW TOUR is now available to allow travellers to Darwin to visit the sites hit by the Japanese air raid. The tour also includes visits to historic bunkers and ammunition stores, an anti-aircraft gun site and a cruise of Darwin harbor to view the modern day navy base HMAS Coonawarra.
