Which presumably is because there was so little damage.<BR/><BR/>The Darwin bombing I knew about and I think most of us know about but Broome was also attacked and I think one more town up north. Newcastle was also attacked by midget subs.<BR/><BR/>I know when Darwin was bombed the rest of the country didn't know for a month. I think there was a media blackout.<BR/><BR/>My grandparents and others of their generation have told me about the level of fear in Australia about a Japanese invasion. I don't know anything about the other attacks yet but perhaps news about them was also suppressed for reasons of morale.Spikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04711311734492421302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15959453.post-1146717444103899382006-05-04T14:37:00.000+10:002006-05-04T14:37:00.000+10:00Wow ....that is really interesting.
